Hi, I am doing some family research. Some of my ancestors lived in Buxton Yard in the late 1800's. I have got an old map but can not find where Buxton Yard was. Does anyone know.I would think it would be near the railways in Holbeck, Hunslet, New Wortley areas. If anyone knows of any nearby streets or major intersections, it would be appreciated.The family in question is the Haighs's they worked on the Railways and also went to India to work on the Railways there....

Buxton Yard was in Hunslet on or just off Whitehouse Street which you can find on Google Maps.I have attached the 1908 Directory for Buxton Yard, it must have been small as only 1 dwelling is listed Press the red x or submit query

Have asked Jon to send her a private message as she has not been on the board for 5 years
Is this the end of the story ...or the beginning of a legend?
