Lost - Hope Street, Woodhouse Mill

[darnell_ginnal]

1921 census shows that there were 26 households on Hope Street, Woohouse Mill.

Struggling to find any reference to that street now.

Anyone know what happened to it ?

By the way "Find my Past" have now finally given up on trying to charge £3 every time you want to
access the 1921 census.   If you can afford full membership, then for another £20 you can have unlimited access
to it.   

Really scary when you see how many people were layed off.       No heating allowance in those days.

Looking at old maps on the National Library of Scotland, Hope Street was off Furnace Lane. The current Harbury Street seems to be about half the length of what was Hope Street.
