Mapperley Police Station replied on: 4/28/2005 4:02:56 PM Thanks for that Philfred-we've now reached the years when some of the elderly residents may remember it. Peter, trying to sort out the enumerator's walk-the village has been renumbered quite a few time over the years-but... the old police house is now no 39 and old P>O. no 40. The village is still numbered in a circle starting no 1 (the cottage after the lodge House on your right as you enter the village from Shipley country Park)-it follows the houses turning right towards Black Horse and cottages after, then crosses the road, goes up and down the jittys, along Coronation Road to the Lodge , crosses over the road and follows the path down by the school to the other Lodge House.What I have realised is someone once told me todays no 2 was the post office before it went onto Coronation Road (later it was in todays no 9)-today the Black Horse is no 10-which would fit in with no of houses between post office and pub on the old enumerator's walk! Hope you can follow this! So maybe the post office wasn't next to the police station originally.On 1881 census Mary H Hart (postmistress at a later date) was age 6 and living at 1 Shipley Road with her parents-which is I believe is now 2 the village!!! It's more fun than doing a jig saw puzzle!!!!!
