Re: Bradshaw Street West is really East

Lots of good research, thanks K.S.H. for the maps (makes it clearer).

Bradshaw Street West still exists. Mick lives on India Street, and can see if the street name is still there.

As kids we always thought that the few little cottages between Bradshaw Street and Bradshaw Street West were on Croft Steet, which then turns right into what is actually Croft Street.
From memory, I don't think anything more exists on Bradshaw Street, its just rubble and waste ground. But those still in Church can look for themselves (it's too far for me to pop over and look).

I have often wondered about the East-West naming of Bradshaw Street, and I came to the conclusion that it was because Bradshaw Street is in Church...the other two (West & East) are in Accy. Confirmation is near impossible to obtain, as Church UDC no longer exists and HBC have difficulty in knowing their ar*e from their elbow. It would only be possible from Th'owd Codgers, if there are any still around!!
