Breadmarket Street, Lichfield. The postcard was issued by Boots ‘Pelham’ series and it would date to 1909/1910.
In 1891 Mrs Till opened at the birthplace of Samuel Johnson. The business lasted about two years before a private house.

The last newly-registered #OnePlaceStudy to be featured on this #OnePlaceWednesday is Tony Spencer’s Yateley One-Place Study in #Hampshire. This OPS is based on the family histories of those listed in the 1841 census covering the three Tythings that comprised Yateley at that time.

Yateley One-Place Study.
Image: A colour photo of Ye Olde Vicarage in Yately, an 18th century and recent residence with much earlier origins. It is of two storeys, and four bays, with rendered white walls, and a steep red tile roof, hipped at each end but with gables at the front of those ends.

The aim of John Revie’s Balmanno Street One-Place Study, just registered with us, is to focus on one street – Balmanno (or Balmano) Street in #Glasgow – and to reconstruct its community from its inception in 1792 until its final clearance and demolition in the 1960s. #OnePlaceWednesday

Balmanno Street One-Place Study.
Image: An extract from an old, large-scale Ordnance Survey map showing Balmano (a.k.a. Balmanno) Street, running North-South in the middle of the map extract - and surrounding streets in this built-up part of the City of Glasgow. Nearby streets include Paterson Street, Tarbett Street, Dean Street, Portland Street, Garden Street, George Street (running roughly East-West at the South end of Balmano Street) and Nicholas Street. In addition to lots of residential buildings, a church, two schools, and a public house.

If anyone has Suffolk #ancestry or #OnePlaceStudy, this is a great website to follow. I’ve followed Sarah on YouTube for ages, & she conjures up wonderful images of bygone Suffolk.

This is the old plan for our house and garden in November 1984 when it was the Kreiskulturhaus Treptow. The Coach House was used as a music school. More about it in my short video talk at #AATP #Puschkinallee5 #OnePlaceWednesday
