A map located by Howmuch? of Streets Corner, Walsall Wood, showing plot ownership. We're thinking about 1850. You can see how the crossing got it's name.
Here’s a fragment: a taster. David Evans has been working hard of late on a number of blog-related projects, and one of the things that caught his interest was Streets Corner, in Walsall Wood, and how it took the name of the Street Familywho lived there. Since David has been looking through census records, fellow history wonk [Howmuch?] has found this fragment of map. From his own research, I’m hoping David can date it for us. Note there are a few familiar names noted here that will spark the interest of one or two readers.
As I say, just a taster. More soon. But for now, enjoy this map – it’s a cracker.
