General notes:
With CPO enquiries, check M646 for the street name in the catalogue (for example Booth Street). If this is not mentioned, look for a major street nearby (for example Upper Brook Street). If this cannot be found, look at the other CPOs in that part of town (for example Chorlton-on-Medlock) to see if the street concerned is included in another CPO. This will give a date of destruction and possibly ownership and occupancy information. For deeds, check the indexes in the red CPO index box behind the search room counter and in the draft catalogue files. More deeds are held in the town hall by Denis Whitehead, Chief Executive's (0161 234 3115), who is happy to deal with enquiries.Old Accession Number: 1999/4
