I am attempting to get a abetter idea of where Alfred Place was using a modern map and comparing with old maps.

I'm not having much luck, because now that oldmaps has removed many of it's useful features - it's a real slog to try to get anywhere, though frustratingly they have a rather nice 1885 town plan which is difficult to access. So a small search which would usually take a few minutes is taking a very long time.  >:(

I think that the area in question may be a bit further to the east of Fieldings Rd. A couple of places mentioned in the area around Alfred Place, such as Albert Buildings, Victoria Buildings and Roseberry Place are a bit further east along Lower Bristol Road.

What year map are you looking for?

My dad's friend collects old maps of Bath so if you give me all the details of the search including years then I can pass the question on.
