Could anyone tell me if John Street in Blaydon on Tyne still exists please?

You just beat me to it Stan. It looks to me like it's under the roundabout and whatever that building is to the right of it. 

Added: Royal Mail building I think.

Thank you, I am researching Tom Barton who lived there with his family before he was killed in the war.

On later maps John Street ran all the way from Railway Street to Shibdon Road, where the chapel is. From Blaydon Highway, through the Arndale car park and St. Cuthberts Way  http://maps.nls.uk/view/101099351#zoom=5&lat=2394&lon=4545&layers=BT
You can see John Street with the house numbers on the map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/418729/563299/13/100765

That is certainly a better map.

I'm having problems loading the second one (am on my ipad at present).

Hello Carol,

Tom Barton is my great granduncle - what's your relation to Tom Barton? I was looking for John Street other day. Now I know its gone, thank to this forum ;-)

Cheers Lyds

I am doing some research for a friend, Tom Barton is a brother to his grandfather Henry Jubilee Barton.
