Hi,

I can confirm that Eliza Street is not the same Elizabeth St. Eliza Street is a small street that runs between Albert Street and Dura Street. Dundee

I know this request is old, but I found Elizabeth street. It was torn down, and then later rebuilt in 2018.
It ran north-south between North George street and Alexander street, right down from the church that hosts MaxWell centre. Placing it in Maxwelltown (another entity hard to find).

This website shows you the area rebuild in 2018, and mentions Old Elizabeth street multiple times and it's revival.

Hello China
Managed to find it for you.
It was located at 129 Hawkhill so no where near Elizabeth Street off Hilltown.. If you download Dundee Post Office Directory for 1874 1875 it is listed on page 19... see below link
Also map Dundee1870 - LIV.9.3 on Scotland Maps Online
https://maps.nls.uk/view/74415518
https://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/archive/84985449
you can find a picture not sure from when of Isles Lane

Annoying you would need the area to left of this...
All the best with your research...

Ooh that's marvellous, thank you so much markw78! I enjoyed looking at those old photos, love old bits of the past like that. Thank you for the map, those OS maps were such works of art.

Cheers,

Hi andreasetcetc  ;D It was actually Elizabeth Place I'd been looking for, did find Elizabeth Street or someone else did and we concluded it wasn't the right one. Pretty sure my William Paterson living in Elizabeth Pl is the right William, as there were several. Thanks for your interest in my post  :)
