Hi,
Can any one give my daughter advise on how to find out the age of the property she has just moved into and who lived there.
As far as we know it may have once been part/owned by the shop below, but the people who rent the shop now have no idea of its history. Tried asking the landlord but no answer on this.
The place is full of the character you would get with an older property    and looking from the outside underneath her door step is what looks to be a bricked over cellar.

The records/building office should be able to tell you when it was built

If she has bought the property it should be in her deeds

It is not on the 1884 Ordnance Survey map, but is on the 1902 map.

You could look up the road on census and see if you can find it. 

I'm not sure how modern "a" as part of an address is though.  Has it been split or is it one complete building?

[Milliepede]

Can find the street but no high numbers as yet.

Maybe it was once a pub if it has a cellar!

There could be old photographs somewhere you can track down, local history groups, libraries are good sources.

Hi
I tried the census using the shop address below (322) as we are sure that this would originally been part of the same property, but found nothing

Is it on a corner - computer shop? 

I would try looking up old pubs just to see if anything comes up as it looks an ideal pub position.

I live in Tamworth, so I'll see what I can find.  I'm sure that the houses across the road have a date in the tiled frontage.  That should give us a clue.

Added:  I can always go to the library as well.

Hi,
Yes it is! Never thought of the possibility of it being a pub.
