PeterR Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Moorhead to Thomas street according to my 1930s street guide Hi Silly, Is your 1930's street guide in print now as I would like to obtain one, or is it an original one? I have a 1991 Geographers AZ street atlas of Sheffield which I bought new, but of course many of the roads on your guide had disappeared by then. I have been trying to find a pre 1960's guide and been on to Geographers but they can't supply one of before 1987 now. Regards, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILLY Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 It is an original 1930s one Peter its one that I found when I cleared my Mums house out. I think that you might be able to get a pre 1960s one on e bay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
