Ozjobri, It's good to know that "Cas" is known so far away,
what prompted you to buy a book about our little town?

Hi Peter

You were such a great  help to me before i wonder if i can ask another street to be found. ? My great great great grandparents lived in Florence St Castleford. Number 112.
Does this street still exist ?
Thanks Denise

Denise, Florence Street does not now exist, it has been built over and amalgamated into the new(ish) shopping mall.  Here's a map to show you where it was located before the alterations.
Anything else I can help with?
