I found 'back/behind scholes' on 1911 census as being behind 50 Scholes. Scholes, like Poolstock is both an area and a name of a street. If you look at google street maps for street 50 scholes it was opposite today's precinct. If you look at this WW1 map my best guess is 'Back scholes' is behind the main road behind the "S" of Scholes ?
