Hi everyone, I wonder if someone can find Albert Blackham who in 1901 was manufacturing gas and weighing machines having changed from nail/screw making. He was an employer and lived at 1 Court, 12 Latmore St. Parish of St. Asaphs? And can someone tell me where that is/was.
Thanks very much - I appreciate all the help you give.

Hi Sheri

No Latmore St .There is a Latimer St , between Pigot St and Great Colmore St, There is an Albert Blackham, builder , at 332. Rotton Park Road in the 1900 directory, but he has disappeared by 1904. Possibly he his business is under another name.
If it is Latimer St, then if you go to https://www.search.digital-ladywood.org.uk/engine/resource/zoomify/default.asp?txtKeywords=&lstContext=&lstResourceType=&lstExhibitionType=3&chkPurchaseVisible=&txtDateFrom=&txtDateTo=&x1=&y1=&x2=&y2=&scale=&theme=&album=&viewpage=%2Fengine%2Fresource%2Fexhibition%2Fstandard%2Fchild%2Easp&originator=%2Fengine%2Fcustom%2Fgallery%2Easp&page=&records=&direction=&pointer=452&text=0&resource=7741&exhibition=2601&zoomify=7710&offset=0 and zoom in, it shows court 12 on the north side, just to the right of the junction with Irving st. ( if it is court 1 , then that is further along to the west.

Hi Mikejee, Thank you for your reply - I wonder where Albert went in 1904 - it looks as though he had his finger in a few pies.
