| jenkellock Quote | Reply | | Mileash/St Alkmund/Darley Abbey posted on: 12/22/2004 11:59:20 AM I have just been supplied with 1851 census details for my Great Grandfather Henry West.(who was aged 1 at the time) The address of his parents is given as: Mileash, which is/was a village in the parish of St.Alkmund, in the liberty of Darley Abbey, within Derby. I can find no reference for Mileash anywhere at all, does anyone know anything about it? Cheers, Jen. |

Mileash/St Alkmund/Darley Abbey
replied on: 12/22/2004 12:44:40 PM Hi, Jen. At around the time which you mention, Mileash consisted of a few houses plus - Mileash Farm and just below it Mileash House with Mileash Nurseries to the left and Mileash Lane leading towards the Darley Dale Ruins approximately a quarter of a mile away on the right. To day, the Allestree motorway divides Mileash from Allestree and Mileash itself is approximately half a mile, as the crow flies, to the N.West of Little Chester. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 12/22/2004 1:06:04 PM Hi, again, Jen. I hope you find what's left of it to day. Head for the Abbey Ruins and contemplate from there? From the Ruins, its about a quarter of a mile straight line to the Mileash Site area in the Allestree direction. Good hunting. Don't get lost. Azzabuv. |
