Title: Barlborough - Manor cottages
Post by: MDA66 on Wednesday 05 December 12 20:23 GMT (UK)

Does anyone know where Manor Cottages were in Barlborough - or do they even still exist?  Even better would anyone have any photos?

Hi

Have you tried looking on www.old-maps.co.uk ?

I can see Manor Farm on one of the old maps but haven't located the cottages yet.

Hi,

Did you get the address from a census?

If so have you tried reading the 1st page, which give a description of where the enumerator walked, also
looking at other pages often produces an address which can be identified e.g. church, hall, manor house etc.

Giving the census details would help with the search.

Thanks for the tips.  Yes its from the 1911 census - so people entered the address themselves.

I have had a go at looking at adjoining pages, but it seems the people on the neighbouring pages have been very vague about their addresses and just written "Barlborough nr, Chesterfield'!  I am wondering if it might have been on High Street - on the 1901 census that is where they were living.

John Thomas White and his wife Jane, born 1864, a coal miner, if anyone wants to take on the challenge.  Where I am right now the internet connection is very slow for running ancestry.com

Hi,

Just had a quick look.

The image number for JTW in 1911 is 298.

208 = Alton Cottages

304 = Manor Cottages

312 = Rose & Crown


Rose and crown should be easy to discover.

Hi,

If you look on picturethepast.org.uk there are several views of the Rose & crown, and some surrounding buildings.

Hope that helps,

HI,

SORRY everyone in my rush last night I entered an incorrect name for the Public House, it should be:-

Crown & Anchor  it is Page 312 on the Barlborough  1911 Census, Enumeration District 09.
Also see entry for this Public House in 1891 Directory:-
http://www.andrewsgen.com/dby/kelly/barlborough.htm

Image 270 is High Street,
"         272  Ash Cottages
"         282 Alton Cottages
"         298 Manor Cottages
"         304   "        "
WE CAN ONLY ASSUME THESE WERE ALL ROWS OFF HIGH STREET
"         310  is West End
"         312  CROWN & ANCHOR, West End.

If you look at the page numbers listed, you then need to go to the next image to view the Postal Address.

BARLBOROUGH Heritage Centre has just acquired photgraphs  and information about Manor Cottages. You can contact the Heritage Manager through their website.

Thanks Teresa - would they be able to email me that information as I live in Cardiff?  Funnily enough though I was in Barlborough yesterday and saw that on High Street there is 'Manor Cottage' - a stone built detached cottage at the roadside on the left hand side if driving towards the Dusty Miller.  Would this be the same thing?

Anyway, I'll contact the centre and see if they can send me some information.

Thanks.
