Title: direction please in Salford
Post by: ladyholme on Tuesday 03 April 12 23:27 BST (UK)

Can anyone tell me where in abouts in Salford was Martha Street. It isn't on Google, so I can only presume that it no longer exists, or possibly it may have been renamed, but I would like to know for curiosity where it used to be please. Thanks

Yep certainly can....I know Martha Street existed in the 1890's and possibly could have done well into the early part of the 1900's.
