As you know, lot of the houses were evidently two separate flats at one point. Although usually the two flats are given the same number (e.g; downstairs would be 51A, upstairs would be 51B) I think each flat has been given its own individual number here.

So as if you were facing Collingwood St, the door numbers on the left side are the odd ones.

This map shows that Number 39 was downstairs and number 41 Aldborough St was upstairs. Number 41 is now a single house instead of flat.

Northumberland / Aldborough Street, Blyth

Hi,

I'm looking for anyone who either currently or previously resided/ resides in Aldborough Street in Blyth.

I have the 1921 Census for 39 Aldborough Street as it appears my ancestors lived there at one point. Upon checking Google maps, number 39 no longer seems to exist. I get the impression that a lot of the properties on that street were previously flats and have since been converted into houses.

Essentially, I'm trying to figure out which property used to be number 39, and am wondering if anyone has any insight or photos of Aldborough Street from the past that may shine a light?

Many thanks!
