Where was Swallow Place?

[Benbow 10]

Anyone know where Swallow Place was? I am searching my family tree and my grandmother lived there briefly in 1901. The census says that it was in the Attercliffe area. I have searched Google maps but it isn't marked, probably demolished!

Thanks for any help.

I THINK there was a Swallow STREET of Norman Road (Newall road area), about 40 years ago. ROWS & rows of terraced houses.

Swallow St was the second on the right befor the bridge over the Don coming down Newhall St. I cant recall a Swallow place.

Isn't there an estate in Page Hall where all the streets are named after birds?

Wasn't Swallow Place one of the dead end ones that finished at the River Don. Off Don Road. I have an old A to Z but can I find it?.......no of course I can't not at the moment anyway.

Oh and FORE, it was Norman Street.

Wow, you've dug that old map up well!

 

I went there once, about 40-45 years ago, so I suppose I wasn't far off!

I left 53years since but the twenty years i did live there were the best none of us had much but we knew how to enjoy ourselfs

Was wondering,

as to how Swallow Street. came by it's name,

perhaps it was to do with Richard Swallow, who took over the Attercliffe Forge in 1775-1776.
