Chemimike, If you can email me the pic of the piece of map that needs overlaying I’m reasonably sure that I can do it even if there are no remaining landmarks. [email is christianliitsAThotmail.co.uk]

The map that I meant where there were few landmarks left to compare, was on the second post on this thread.

DEE wrote: I noticed on the maps that there was a Barkers Yard nearby. I had ancestors that came from that area and lived in Barkers Buildings in 1904, does anybody have a map showing if the buildings were in Barkers Yard please? Also does anybody have a map showing Myrtle St around 1861, Brown St around 1881 or Wingham Terrace around 1864? Hi Dee. Sorry for the late reply. The previously posted maps are the only ones I've got of this area, I'm afraid. However, I've trawled Leodis for Barker's Yard/Barker's Buildings, and found 1901 pictures of the street and yard either side of it, but sadly not the yard itself. It'll give you an idea of what the area was like, hopefully.This is Little Somerset Street to the north, with, beyond, the Woollen Cloth Works across Lady Beck, mentioned above,...

Here's the Myrtle Street area, but from the 1906 OS map.(I can't find Brown Street.)

I don't have an old map showing Wingham Terrace, but here's a 1961 Leodis photo. The place has obviously seen better days...Hope these are of use/interest, Dee.

Dunno.I'd guess it's narrower at the western end because this is where it crossed Lady Bridge over Lady Beck. At some time between the two maps, it was significantly widened, and Lady Beck was partly covered over.

Here's a fascinating Leodis picture of the narrow western end of Quarry Hill taken in 1913. St Peter's Street runs off to the right (just out of frame), and the culverted part of Lady Beck is visible. Lady Bridge is just over the left shoulder of the photographer. This view no longer exists, as virtually everything in it has gone, including Lady Beck itself.
