Title: Kay Street in (Little) Bolton - any pics in 1860, 70?
Post by: familysleuth on Friday 30 April 21 03:56 BST (UK)
Dear researchers - I am writing a family history story about my 4th great grandfather, Moses Scott. he lived in Kay street, Bolton from about 1820 until 1860. I would love to find some drawing or old photo, but despite a lot of searching, I can't find a thing online! (well, a fragment of one photo 1971 with a view of terrace houses) does anyone have a link, or some new ideas for searching? I have looked up the street in the British newspaper archive and in the censuses - it features a diverse range of occupations and buildings - mostly pubs and beerhouses. this street was totally demolished over quite a period and is now part of the A666.
