MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi everyone, hope you are all okay. I was wondering if one of you clever folks would be able to help me out. I am curious to find out where Rookwood/Rookword Road would have been around 1942? I can't seem to find a road under that name, other than Rookword Close but don't know if that's the same place. Wondered if any of you geniuses would be able to help me out. Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 From 1942 I reckon it was this one in St Ann's. And if you know the exact number you're looking for... Present day the closest equivalent is Broad Oak Close in St Ann's. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarriebidaeCarabidae 1 Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hi, I'm looking for Cooper Street in St. Ann's. Does anyone know where it was? I was born there. It was probably cleared in the slum clearances Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Engineer 612 Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 It ran between Alfred Street Central and Peas Hill Road at the St Ann's Well Road end of those two roads. It was around the back of the former Cavendish cinema that is now IC Discounts. Cooper Street was demolished during the regeneration of St Ann's. The nearest road nowadays would be Thomas Close.

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 To add to what The Engineer has said, there is a footpath (not a road) named Curzon Court which follows almost exactly the line of the former Cooper Street. https://goo.gl/maps/TQ7ZEcsxqk4jKCzp7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
