Priory Row

This is the earliest page that I have with the whole page for numbering in Priory Row. It is from the 1911 Directory. Those Collins Wine Merchants were at number 14 as early as 1828 but as said above I don't have the whole numbered page for that year. It is from a commercial type directory so not useful for residents. Also, Charles BAGSHAW son of Joseph BAGSHAW and Sarah is said to have been born December 6 1822 and residing at Priory Row, no number given.

Part of the confusion is down to large buildings being split up or combined before or after they started the numbering. So 13 and 14 may have been different floors or front and back. On the fire insurance map, it may be that the surveyor couldn't work it out either and left 14 and 15 off the map. Looking at Heathite's directory it looks like several of the buildings had multiple business occupants.

Found this on Pinterest. I can't decide if I've seen this picture before or if I'm thinking of a sister photo starting on the left and going off in the same direction.
