Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Google Maps are by no means perfect. Another point in that area.....look at the area around Angel Row. What Google call Long Row West is actually Long Row Central; and Long Row West is the other side of the road on Angel Row, but according to them that is all just Angel Row.

Paulus 541 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Possibly littlebro', but google gives the opposite sides road as Smithy Row, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Not according to Google maps, cheapside not mentioned.....................but it makes more sense that South Parade only runs the length of slab square, wonder why Google don't use the cheapside name? Go & look at the corner of the council house opposite Exchange Walk Mick (street sign for Cheapside is there) My information is using "Ordnance Survey maps 50"(yes over four feet) to the mile done in the early 1950s & Kelly's Directories dated 1916,1925 &1928. The dividing point between The Poultry & South Parade is Peck Lane(got it wrong on earlier post)side of the Flying Horse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are errors on their maps, and there is a facility to send in comments informing them of faults in naming etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many thanks Bubbly, I was probably being a trifle naive using google maps & expecting accuracy.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Does Cheapside not relate to the side of the Council House, not the road itself? No it was there in 1860 (Drakes Directory) & there were eight shops there BUT the first bit from the corner of the old exchange up to The Kirke White Tavern was known as Exchange Row till the present council house was built. There were Five public houses in the area of the Old Exchange before it was demolished to make way for the new "Council House" + about 50 butchers stalls in the "Shambles" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 This is the OS map for 1901, before the Council House was built, and demonstrates the points made by bubblewrap and poohbear about Cheapside and Poultry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 So, looking at that map, opposite sides of the road have different names, but doe the name of the road itself change? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's the same further up Beestmarket Hill & Angel Row are only one sided streets the other side is still Long Row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 So, looking at that map, opposite sides of the road have different names, but doe the name of the road itself change? Although one street each side has a different name & has been so for centuries. But some of the names have been changed. Poultry was known as Cook Stool Row South Parade ..............Timber Hill Cheapside.....................Rotten Row Beastmarket Hill...........Beast Hill Chapel Bar....................Bar Gate. Market Street..................Sheep Lane Badder & Peat Map of 1744 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
