Hi Maggie,

Fox Lane can be found on the Ordnance Survey map of 1853 at http://www.nls.uk/digitallibrary/map/to ... _1_ne.html
Select sheet 17 (just below the centre of the index map).
Zoom in on the area immediately below the centre of the top edge of that map. You should find Fox Lane.

By the time of the 1894 map, it had been renamed Fox Street. You can find Fox Street on the current map at www.streetmap.co.uk by searching for Elbe Street (Fox Street seems to be missing from their index). It looks like only the east section of Fox Street remains.

All the best,

Andrew Paterson
