Market Place houses early 20th century

[Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)]

@Canny lass amogst all your research have you any info on the houes/flat numberng in the Market Place?

 

On the Bedlington Remembered Facebook group a member asked :-

 

I had a Google of the shops that are there now and checked the addresses but the last shop in that area, Market Cafe, is given as No 20A :-

 

I had a check on a 1896 map and as expected the Market Place is not filled with buildings that would not have been present when we were runing around there in the 1960s :-

I'm guessing that many of the old buildings in that row house multiple families in the early 20c and I suppose it's possible the building were renumbered when the families in 'multiple family' dwellings were rehoused.

The Market Place 'dwellings' didn't have numbers in the 1911 census. Could Mark & Margaret be confusing the schedule number with a house number? Ask if her relative's surname started with the letter T? If so I can probably pin-point the right house for her.
