Title: Cross Street Hull
Post by: GAYNORI on Wednesday 01 June 22 10:14 BST (UK)

Hi
Doe anyone know whre the original Cross Street was please.

I have an address as Marfleet Terrace, Cross Street. There is now a street called New Cross Street but don't think this is the one.

Thanks

I don't know the area, however there are a number of mentions of Marfleet Terrace in newspapers, however it is usually "Marfleet Terrace, Craven Street", and in a couple of instances in 1875 "Marfleet Terrace, Holderness road".

Interesting - in 1910 a stable on Marfleet Avenue, Craven Street was struck and wrecked by a meteor!

These maps show a number of the Terrace names off Craven St, however I can't see a Marfleet Terrace.

Just looked at maps you sent and there are 2 sawmills & a timber yard nearby. He was a sawyer so makes sense. Also found this "Craven Street was originally Marfleet Lane, renamed in 1878" so maybe that is why there was a Marfleet Terrace?

I have found this Genuki webpage very helpful when needing to know the whereabouts of my ancestors in Hull:-

There is a Cross Street in the centre of Hull, it's a little street that is parallel to Ferensway and is behind what was C & A's shop
