TWA756 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Try http://www.clickhere.org.uk I have used this to look at old maps of Netherthorpe Just had another look and I have found Cross Hunt Street - other side of St Philips road from where Dover Street went off. I have some photos (slides) taken around 1960 of a St Anne's church parade in the area - taken by my uncle - have spent quite a long time trying to work out exactly where they were taken but finally decided that one of the street names is Cross Hunt Street - I think it shows the shop on ther corner. Do any of you who lived in the area remember anything about Bethel Street. My grandparents had a shop there - on the corner opposite Netherthorpe School - but I think they had gone from there by the end of the 1930s so you may not remember the family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carosio Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) My mother was born at No 7 Cross Hunt St in 1908. I also have a photo of the VE party (1945) that was held there, either on Hunt St, or Cross Hunt St. Edited October 5, 2009 by carosio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
