Ingleby street and the coal wharf

[Barbie61]

Hello I can't find these on the map ... very interested in 1920's when my Dad was a boy - back to back houses I think. I'd love to see a photograph if any exist. Family names Wigley and Brookes .. Lady wood areas

There are some good photos of Ingleby Street - now long gone - on this web site.

Here is a map c 1950 showing Ingleby St. Can see no sign of a coal wharf on it

Hi Alan, no I don't think the coal yard was actually in ingleby Street, my father always referred to it as the Coal Wharf so I'm thinking maybe nearby on the edge of the canal or something like that? Apparently his mother rented a little flat near this but he spent his days with his Aunty May in Ingleby Street where his whole family had lived. Their name was Wigley. Does anyone know what happened to Ingleby Street? Its not on modern maps?
