   I’m searching for the location of three yards in Long Street, Atherstone in the 1890s/1900s, where members of my family used to live….The ‘Swan with two Necks’ Yard, Allens Yard and Hicks Yard. Are Street Maps of Atherstone from this period available ?

   I am trying to find the location of two yards that were lived in by my ancestor and are not listed on the site.

   They were located off of Long Street and were called: Rowley’s Yard (in residence in 1841); & Hudson’s Yard (in residence 1861). I am trying to find a bit more out about George Warner (a blacksmith) and was wondering if anyone knew the historic location of these two addresses as I’ve done some digging, but to no avail.

   Any help would be most appreciated!

   Maurice & Duncan,

   Hi there.
   We’ve added a page each of the yards you mentioned. This will mean that if anyone else Googles those Atherstone Yard names they’ll find those pages and this one. If there’s anyone else out there searching for those yards they should see your messages!

   Of course this website has built up a reasonable following of people interested in the history of Atherstone.
   Does anyone out there known anything about the yards Maurice & Duncan talk about?
