The Pianoman 1,531 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I have an address on a 1917 death certificate of Sandon Road Nottingham. I am aware that Chelmsford Road changed from a street to a road at some time or other but does anyone know if Sandon Road became Sandon Street - as in Sandon Street off Sherwood Rise at side of Djanogly Academy or has Sandon Road, Nottingham long gone? The death cert. has no mention of Basford. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 In Kelly's directory of 1916 it's listed as Sandon Street. It ran from 49 Nottingham Road to Gawthorne Street. And is listed as Broxtowe odd numbers 1 - 57 even numbers 2 - 96 Sandon street is still listed in 1972 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 It is still there ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,531 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yes I know Sandon Street is still there but was it Sandon Road once upon a time, is Sandon Road somewhere else or is it a mistake on the death cert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 And it was Sandon Street in 1891 (Kelly's directory) so as far as I can see it has been Sandon street since 1891 at least. I imagine Sandon Street was built sometime in the 1880s(not in Morris directory of 1869) And can find no record of a Sandon Road up to 1972. It would be the same one as Sherwood Rise becomes Nottingham Road somewhere near to this point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,531 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks. I shall assume that the death cert. has an error Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steven_wynn_uk 7 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sandon St has never been Sandon road , all the plots were auctioned as 'Sandon St , Late of Newcastle St'.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,531 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 No its OK thanks. It is one of two address mistakes on the death certificate. The registrar must have been hissed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
