Hello,

I'm researching the history of Smithfield Road in Market Drayton.

I'm looking for anything and everything (including old photo's of) about the street, its buildings and the families that lived there up until the 1970's / 80's.

If you have anything you can share about Smithfield Road, please, reply to this thread.

Best, 

J ;-)

Hello

I presume you have traced the evolution of Smithfield Road using large scale maps such as the Tithe Map of 1842 and the Ordnance Survey Maps at 6 inches and 25 inches to 1 mile from the 1880s.

OS maps can be viewed on the National Library of Scotland web site including one 25 inch map where the buildings have been coloured.

This map is also useful because it allows you to see an old and modern map side by side with the cursor synchronised on both.

Shropshire Archives may well have similar maps of different dates and also maps drawn up for other purposes.
