Carrington Road / Dixon Road School

[Steveweston]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to track down some photos/street plans of Carrington Road to show my grandchildren. I lived at 5/27 Carrington Road 1955 to 1964 our house backed on to a back yard that was bordered by the Dixon Rd school wall. I attended Dixon Rd 1960 to 1964. My dad did part time work at the Pricnce Arthur pub which I think was at the Bordesley end of the street.
Thanks
Steve

Here's a couple of maps from 1950. The first showing your house and the school and the second a bit more of the area including the pub which is a little further away (top centre).





They are from here - https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/ - if you want to explore more of the area.

Hello, do you have any other photos of Carrington Road from the streets. My grandmother lived with her mother, Rose Ellen Russell, with her two brothers, Brian Russell, Maurice Russell and her sister, Muriel (Moose) Russell. My grandmothers name is Myrtle Ellen Darby (nee Russell) and they all lived in a small house on Carrington Road, and she went to Dixon Road School, if you have any photos it would be much appreciated.

I haven't seen any of Carrington Road unfortunately.

You might get a glimpse on aerial shots from Britain From Above etc.
