I know this is an old post but wonder if you could help me. Is it possible to extend the area of this map to the right so that it shows the area of Spring Hill up to the Monument Road junction?josie
No 35 is shown in red on the c 1950 map below
Thank you Mike for your super rapid response. Exactly what I wanted.
Mike do you have a map showing the whole of Steward St? I am looking for 7 back of 77 Steward St. as this was where my father was born in 1924. Thank you in anticipation.
Mike that is really great, thank you most sincerely.
First, apologies for posting here, it should really be on the Spring Hill post, but it caught my I eye!
Thanks for the reply Janice. It seems that the 1939 e-roll differs from the 1939 Register. No matter! I have a group photograph which does appear to be the house at the back of 152.I assume that the marked house is 2/152 as there were actually 5 house listed as back of 152 on the 1939 eroll (I didn't post #5 as it was on the next page of the eroll). It looks as if on the map Mike has posted (from the old maps site) that some of the houses have gone.

How strange. 1939 reg only has 1 back of 152 (but it does match the eroll) so assume the other houses were empty.Thanks for the reply Janice. It seems that the 1939 e-roll differs from the 1939 Register. No matter! I have a group photograph which does appear to be the house at the back of 152.

That's what threw me with Mikes map. I knew the Masons lived about no.152. but when I saw Mikes map I started going deeper into my tree! The picture appears to be taken in the yard at the back of 152 & there is a little glimpse of the passage way to the right-hand side of my photograph. I don't know when exactly when the picture was taken or what the occasion was (they seem to be wearing their besties and have button-holes (what is the female equivalent?)How strange. 1939 reg only has 1 back of 152 (but it does match the eroll) so assume the other houses were empty.
Thank you Thank you! This is the first time I have managed to locate the area and what it looked like when my Mom was born, better still this is on a photograph from the year she was born....you are a Star!An aerial view dated 1947 of the area. Court 20 is in the centre of the view and it's surface has been lightly shaded pink for identification. Eyre Street is labelled.

Mike - Thank you for enlarging that map! The house at the back of 152 on Spring Hill appears to be 2/152 whereas it should be 1/152. This is where my great-grand parents lived from about 1920-1946, until my great-grandfather died in Western Road Hospital (Dudley Road)
