Hi Everyone. Just found out my Grandad William Norvell Blackbird and his family were living at 10 Wellfield Terrace, Bill Quay when the 1911 Census was taken. Does anyone know if the address still exists? Thanks.

You can check it out here, which will also give you a location map.

If you go to http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm and enter the post code NE100SS in search it will centre the map on 11/12 Wellfield Terrace. You can see the earlier maps as well.

Hi

The postcode finder at the Royal Mail site gives an accurate Postcode and map:

www.royalmail.com

It still exists with a Gateshead postal address.

It gives the same post code that I gave, and the map shows the individual houses

Couldn't get your map to work stan - I always go to the royal mail site though - I like it

Thanks everyone for their help. I think the house does still exist. I will have to visit and see when I am back in the country in December. Thanks again.

If I have time, Dougal, I'll maybe pop over the Tyne Bridge and take a photo before December
