Re: House Numbers
Am I right in thinking that door numbering didn't catch on until there was a door to door postal delivery?
The reason I say that is because I have dabbled a little lately tracing the ancestors of my maternal grandmother, and found that addressess were a bit obscure.
By that I mean - I found an address which was 'Busk', which turns out to be the stretch of Union Rd between St Pauls school and Haworth St.
Other addresses in the list I looked at didn't show door numbers either - just 'so and so Buildings'
