Hi All
I know this is a long shot but does anyone know anything about this road and its history? I am looking at google maps and it looks like the street numbers only go up to 150(?). According to the 1939 register the numbering went up to at least 169. Would I be right in assuming the street has changed somewhat over the years and many of the houses have been demolished and rebuilt?
TIA, Jo

You are probably correct.

Looking at Google Earth it looks like an old corporation Estate that has been cleared out with some older brick homes. Quite pleasant.

Elaine.

Hi Jo,
Try the picture sheffield website, there are a few pics of some demolition work going on but not sure what the numbers are.

Jo, the simple answer is yes.

go to the Picture Sheffield website and search for Fitzhubert Road. There are 19 answers. A quick skim of those shows the ever changing nature of the area.

Thanks Elaine, Wendy and Dave. I will certainly check out the picture Sheffield website :-)

See OS 1:2500 scale maps, revised 1935:

https://maps.nls.uk/view/125651416 (north)

https://maps.nls.uk/view/125651464 (south)

When built, Fitzhubert Road was a complete oval shape crossing Prince of Wales Road twice. A quick count of houses around the outside curve gives more than 120, which would be nearly doubled by the inside curve. New maps show parts of Fitzhubert Road now have other names. The 1950s OS map editions including house numbers are not yet available on NLS for this district, they will be available in the Local Studies Library. On the directories page to the left there are two people who have Kelly's for the 1940s-1950s which will probably show where the numbers crossed other roads.

Hi Sally

Thanks for the info... I did find a couple of old maps showing the circular formation of the road.

We did visit whilst in Sheffield and spoke to some of the locals who were able to shed a little light on what it might have looked like in years gone by. They also spent time telling us how confusing the road is for uber, just eat and other delivery companies due to it being so 'chopped up' now.
Thanks again
Regards
Jo

Further to my remarks about OS maps it may be of general interest that NLS has now loaded all the remaining post-war large-scale sheets for England and Wales, up to the copyright limit of 1973. On the 1:1250 series ("50-inch") Fitzhubert Road is here:

https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16.0&lat=53.36499&lon=-1.42813&layers=170&b=1&o=100

The numbering starts in the SW, runs clockwise and finishes on the south side of Prince of Wales Road where the highest numbers are 208 (evens) and 233 (odds).

(In rural areas use the 1:2500 series "25-inch". You can also view all these as individual sheets to check revision dates etc.)

Posting this again because the end of the address got lost.

Wow, that is brilliant Sally. Thank you so much :-)
