Looking at my Mam’s birth certificate she was born at number 13, where was this? I only remember my Granda in Dunston Street and Glen Court

Hi John,
If you come over the Station Bridge from the Newtown area you will see St Aloysius Church on the right. Straight ahead was a Tall Savings Bank.building that's still there today (Barclays in later year)
Prince Consort Rd went downhill on the left of the Bank & it's Lane went down on the right of the bank'. Those houses are all gone now though.
Number 13 would be just a few doors down & it would probably have been a upstars flat with outside wooden stairs from the yard to get to it.

Peter, what year does your map represent?

The reason I ask is that I had family members live on Prince Consort Road but in a house (No. 48) that doesn't look like it is on this map unless I am reading it wrong. I'm curious to know when the various houses and flats there might have been built.

If it helps AJG the map must be in or after 1926
There was no Lloyds branch in 1925 but it was there in 1927 (Bank marked as opposite the RC Church and at the bottom of the road to Reyrolle)

Here is a Google Earth shot of 48 Prince Consort Rd.
The Corbitt's would have known my Dent relatives across the road.

The house doesn't look like it has changed much. No extensions or anything.

Joe Corbitt died in 2015, after which the house was sold. I always wonder who lives in it now and how they have it decorated. Joe used to grow show leeks and had a lovely leek trench in the back garden. Bet that's gone now!
