Wye street Middlesbrough 1911 Census

Great, I'll pop over there at some point this weekend and let you know the results.

Hello,

OK I just popped over for you. There are Wye Street signs on both sides of the terrace on the junction with Borough Road  Alas they are not the original signs, they are white plastic ones which must cover the originals.

An original sign for Avon Street (the next street up) remains however,so I could get a photo of that so you would know the style of the Wye Street sign would have looked like?

Wye Street is now just a gap in the Borough Road terrace, they have blocked it off from traffic using a tree and some fencing, you can walk down it however to access the new housing estate (St John's Gate) behind it.

If you want any photos just let me know and I'll take my camera down there (I left the house with out it today, sorry).

Hi Stu, 

As Gobbo and Em say the area has changed.

I was a driver for Binns fourty odd years ago.   

I have a 1928 Ward's Directory for Wye Street if that's any help.

Hi all,

I too have  been looking at this area, once known as the "Rivers Estate".  Can anyone help me with the where abouts of Primrose Terrace?  I think it could have been in this locality.

Many thanks,
Ann

PS.  Middlesbrough Archives may have some old pics

Hi George,

Thank you for this, I can remember as a kid Grange Road in the 1950's, I didn't take much notice then of the house names etc though.  It may have been the Marton Road end as the Census states Exchange Ward.

Once again many thanks.

Can someone help locate this street? Possibly North Ormesby ??

I have a 1953 map of Middlesbrough and Wye Street is definitely in Middlesbrough, not North Ormesby.
I was born in North Ormesby and Ormesby Beck seperates North Ormesby from Middlesbrough, hope
the attached photo helps. :-)
