Hi Derek,

Back Street can be seen on an 1854 map at www.old-maps.co.uk if you insert the co-ordinates 260000 and 556400, then click on "go". Zoom in using the control to the left. Back Street is above and parallel to Main Street.

Comparing that to a current map, Back Street now seems to be called Catherine Street. Main Street is now high Street. Click on the link below to see Catherine Street on a current street map.

I found no sign of Neilson Square.

All the best,
