Have a look on google maps. You can get Street View of Salop Street, though it looks as if quite a bit of it may have been redeveloped.

Thank you I have looked on Google maps and have took a ride down Salop street but it's been developed a lot over the years and the old houses i'm interested in no longer exsist but I hoped someone out there may have some old pics from 1860', 1900's

Sue - MarysRoots post is from quite some time ago, so she might not be checking up on it now. Try clicking on her name and sending her a personal message. If she still has the same email address that she registered with GR, then they will forward your message to her.

The search was actually for the 1860's..........but get in touch, anyway. You may find you have connections

The poster may by now have taken the advice about trying a museum............although she didn't acknowledge the helpful suggestions
