Title: confusion Maccesfield or Chester
Post by: archworth on Tuesday 22 June 10 21:07 BST (UK)

I am confused about an address... in a previous post"address check Maccesfield"  a reader said that Parkside House was on Chester road Maccesfield.

On re checking  these post cards some are addressed as

!.  Parkside, Lack Lane, Chester... and some as

2.  Parkside House, Maccesfield, Cheshire.

Maccesfield and Cheshire are far apart...could the Chester as in#1 be the street, or two seperate places?

Both are addresses to the same person.

There is a Lache Lane in Chester, but not a Lack lane.

There was a Slack Lane in Macclesfield..and a Back Lane


Cheshire was officially the County of Chester so you can see how confusion might have arisen as to the postal address
