A 15, Nellie Crescent, Leeds is included on the 1921 Census.

There is also a Nellie Crescent, Richmond Hill, Leeds - but I'm not sure if this might be the same place.
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

Google search has this if it helps ???

Secret Leeds
There was a 'Nellie Crescent' and a 'Nellie View' they were at the bottom of Upper Accomodation Road near the junction with Sussex Street.

Not sure if the other roads are still there now ether.

Searching on FindMyPast - 1921 Census:

Nellie Crescent, Leeds - 20 households

Plus there are maps and "Plans of the Division" which gives the boundary and contents of the Enumeration District.

I wonder who 'Nellie' was - to be so important?

More from my above Google search from Secret Leeds regarding the naming of these roads:

"I assume they were so named simply after the girl's name - Adjacent streets were named 'Elsie' 'Bertha' and 'Ada'. on the opposite side of Upper Accomodation road there were streets named after boys -'Walter' and 'Harry'!!"

Thank you. The family did live at 15 Nellie Crescent. This would now be in Leeds 9. Sure it would have been demolished. Will need to find an old Leeds street map, showing Nellie Crescent.
