  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.
    Luckily i create an offsite backup once a week! this has now been restored so we have lost a few days posts.
    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

Map Or other information required.

The closest I have been able to find is the 1878 P.O Directory.
There is no number 9, it skips from 8 (back of) and 259, Wilkes,Thomas, beer retailer to 11, Bartlam, William, furniture dealer.
Number 11 may have incorporated the 2 numbers ?

Below are two maps, one about 1913 shows where no 9 was iin 1878 (in red) and the larger scale map shows the immediate area in more detail with no 9 still in red

A big THANK YOU to everyone who answered.
To Mikejee, I have a photograph looking along Aston Road, so your Maps will help me to try to establish where it was.
" Thank You " once more to everyone.
