Hi there,
I have found numerous relatives of mine living accross Runcorn, Cheshire. These include:
8 Windmill Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1873)
7 Lightfoot`s Square, Runcorn, Cheshire (1898)
Fryer Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1853)
16 Frederick Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1913)
2 Lightfoots Court, Heath Road, Runcorn, Cheshire (1896)
Zion Place, Runcorn, Cheshire (1880)
6 Queen Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1890)
11 Jackson's Lane (1920s-1950s)
Ivy Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1958)
I am interested in seeing these places on a map, along with how close they are to each other and with images if possible. A big ask, but you don't ask ...
Thank you,
Peter

Google Maps, and Google Street View, will show you most of these places. ;D

Only Windmill Street, Queen Street, Fryer Street, and Ivy Street appear on the current Runcorn Street map, there is only the entrance to Fryer Street existing now.

This map shows Jackson's Lane, Frederick Street, and Windmill Street. Zion Place, Lightfoot's Court, and Lightfoot`s Square were in the same area according to the census.

This map shows Queen Street and Fryer Street from the 1927 OS map.

Thank you KGarred, I had already done that :D but actually wanted maps/images from the time!
So thank you so much stanmapstone! Your work is much, much appreciated.
I just wonder if you could post a map showing the two main C of Churches in relation to these houses?
Thank you again. How would I get images of these places, if they exist?

The two nearest C of E churches are Holy Trinity and All Saints. If you go to http://www.achurchnearyou.com/runcorn-all-saints/ and click on "Find Us" you will get a map showing the two churches marked.
