Title: Stables family in Astley Bridge, Bolton
Post by: bbriann on Friday 13 July 07 07:36 BST (UK)

Hi,...
The Stables family owned property in Astley Bridge  from the 1880s  onwards until about 1930.
These properties were in  Eden St   and Viola St,   but things have changed , and most no longer exist.     I am trying to find details / maps / anything  covering this area at that time, but with no success.
Can anyone help?
Any help would be appreciated,  Thanks   Brian.

Hello Brian

Here is a link to a map which shows Eden Street and Viola Street

http://www.old-maps.co.uk/IndexMapPage2.aspx

Enter the coordinates 371200 & 411300 and click on “Go”

Wait for next page to load then scroll down and select map 7 of 8 and again wait for it to load.

Use the zoom facility on the left of the map to see the street names. Also use the arrows on each side and each corner of the map to pan out in different directions.

Hope that helps.

DS ;)
