Title: Albany road bilton harrogate
Post by: mc8 on Wednesday 21 September 16 17:18 BST (UK)

I am trying to identify when this street was built. Can anyone enlighten me?
What kinds of people lived here? Any census info for no. 33?
Thanks

1881 census - you can search by address.

Thanks for the quick replies. The map link you gave me shows that nearby Cecil st (stone fronts) was complete in 1883 and Albany St (brick) in the making. Only a small block of even numbers built then.

So, 33 was built later than 1883  :-\  But at least you have a start date.  ;)

Have you tried historical directories?

No. Although I am an ancient rootschatter I haven't done any research since I lost about ten years research a while back and my expertise was London Norfolk and Belgium.I don't have access to any paid databases these days. My curiosity aroused because I may buy a house there and would like to reintroducenquire some of the original style. The entire Street has plastic windows and doors....whilst they keep the drafts out I'm a pernickety sort
