None of the properties are numbered and very few go by the name of Coach Road, pure and simple, but as we walk from top to bottom and back, I hope to show you a little of what the street is like in 1911 and how it relates to what you know of the place in 2017.
On the left hand side, as we walk down from Leeds Road, we find Pleasant View, followed by Clarkson's Buildings, which you will know as numbers 7 to 17 Coach Road in 2017.
Then, there are three properties, including the Stanley Urban District Council offices, which are called Coach Road.
Freemount Cottages follow, then a house and shop with a Coach Road address, then Ladysmith Place, Belle View, and Wright's Buildings. In 2017, these will be known as numbers 45 to 61 Coach Road.
Once we reach a point opposite what is described as the Football Ground, there are no further houses along the left-hand side of Coach Road itself - although there is Hatfeild Row(Long Row) which faces over the fields to Rook's Nest Road.
Without including Hatfeild Row, the number of properties on this side of the road is 29, and they house 123 people. You might find it interesting to know that in 19 of the 29 houses, at least one person has an occupation associated with the coal mining industry.
Now, let's cross over at the bottom of Coach Road and make our way back up towards its junction with Leeds Road.
On this side of the road, after the football field, we will meet 38 properties, 14 known as Coach Road Cottages, 2 known as Coach Road, and 22 called Woodbine Terrace, in that order as we walk back up the hill.
Some of the Coach Road Cottages are houses in what you will know as Binks Street in 2017, along with former Council Houses nearer the Football Ground and others opposite Hatfeild Row.
Our two 1911 Coach Road addresses on this side will be numbers 54 and 52 in 2017.
We complete our walk by passing along the front of Woodbine Terrace, which is a row of houses which runs alongside Coach Road on its left-hand side as we walk up towards Leeds Road. This row will still be there in 2017 but you will know the houses as numbers 50 to 8 Coach Road.
65 people are living in the 14 Cottages in 1911 plus 6 are living in the two houses named Coach Road and 121 people are living in the 22 houses of Woodbine Terrace.
This accounts for 192 people living on this side of Coach Road; and at least one person has an occupation associated with the coal mining industry in 26 of the 38 houses.
In summary, then, our walk along Coach Road in April 1911 has taken in a total of 67 properties and in 45 of them at least one person has an occupation associated with the coal mining industry.
The 67 houses are occupied by 315 people, which is an average of about 5 people per household, but one house in Clarkson's Buildings has 11 residents and, on the other side of the road, there are two families of 10.
I hope you found the walk interesting.
