Anyone from Newark, Notts?

[BrianT]

Hi 'n help

I'm trying to find our where Chatham Street was in Newark; not the one in Southwell; but the one that was there in the 1880's.

It's not crucial, but just one of those things that bugs, you know?

In an ideal world a photo of number 12; but I'll settle for rough idea of where it was

With thanks
Brian

Have you found it in the census and tried to map it using the surrounding roads from the census listing?

The addy came from the 1891 census which a forum member kindly supplied me with . . .

If you have found the person you are looking for on the census then you will be able to see the Enumeration District from the transcription.
Viewing the description of the enumeration district gives you a good idea of the area covered and often lists the surrounding roads.

It's being a bit slow today, but the Historical Directories site has some PO directories in the list, and they do give an indication of how streets interlocked.

It's come up with the first page of potential directories, but most of them seem to be for Nottingham, itself, rather than the county.

Later - They have a PO one for the county for 1876, so I'm having a "quick" (dreadfully slow) look at that. (I shouldn't be ungrateful - it's a great site and we're fortunate to have access online to so many OCR-searchable directories.)

Found an Ann HAW, beer retailer, living in Chatham St, Newark...but that's in the business bit of it, rather than the addresses bit.

~~~~

The addresses bit has only Nos 1, 3, 7, & 8 (as far as I can tell):
1: ARMITAGE, Richard S
3: ASK, Thomas, smallware dealer
7: TOWERS, Edwin, tailor
.......here is Chatham Place.......
8: SCOTT, Samuel, chimney sweeper

Elaine, thank you for the offer.
I've found the info I was looking for
(unless you had a photo of 8, 9, 10 Portland Street from around 1890; that would be of interest)

Thank you
Brian

Sorry no, but do have a rather good street map

Have a look here

Newark Millgate Museum

You may need to ring them as I can't see the link to the resource centre. They have a lot of material there, was able to get this copy from them
