Thats fantastic Ted ,

Mercy's daughter Hephzibah my gt gt grandmother lived at 34 union street in the year 1898 . I have tryed to locate it before and only got the general area . I tried google earth and it looks mainly industrial units etc now .
I may be wrong but i came to the conclusion in my estimations (prob wrong !! haha) that union street would of been where the hyundai showroom is now across from the rover dealers ......does this sound about right to you or am i barking up the wrong tree .

Hi Joe,

It's a map I bought a while ago from W H Smiths, I can't find it on the net anywhere. The info for the map is Old Ordnance Survey Maps Central Huddersfield 1905, The Godfrey Edition. Smiths should be able to locate one for you.

Regards

For many years after St Marks ceased to be used as a church, it was used by Huddersfield Sea Cadets.  Then 'The Church' put the rent up and they had to move out.  It was then used by an office furniture company who purchased ex-govt stuff, refurbished it and sold it on.

The series of Alan Godfrey maps are available online, and at Family History Fairs, costing from memory about £2.60
There are several maps covering the Huddersfield area, including: Central Huddersfield 1889 and Central Huddersfield 1905.  St Marks Church is clearly shown at the bottom of Northumberland street, on the Huddersfield Central map of 1905.  Reference Yorkshire sheet 246.15
Hope this helps.
