Icknield Street Alert!

I’ve searched and searched for the Icknield Street thread referenced in post #408 but can’t find it and the link brings up an error message. So I shall post this on here. If a mod wishes to move it please do so.

Not a very clear image but I wondered whether this would have been a pub or another business ? I think somewhere in the modern day Streetview is where it would have stood. Viv

Viv you have to remember Icknield st was 1 lane wide each way - the bit of road on the right of the pic. Before it was widened - this half of the dual carriageway was the 10 buildings shown on the map below from the church to the corner. You would be standing in some ones back yard back in the early-mid 1960's if you stood there!

What is the address. Is it carver st, Warstone lane or Icknield st? It looks from early maps as if it might not have always been part of the mint. Could it be the one marked Brookfield works on the c 1890 map below ?

Hi I am trying to find pictures and maps of carver street birmingham and also new spring street, by Dudley Road Hospital back in the 1960's
 
Grateful if you could let us know who should be credited and we'll be happy to add the details to the post. Thank you.
 
The photos were taken by Sidney Fowkes and were shared by his daughter, Sheree Fowkes, on other groups. Sheree has added that her father took the photos on all posts, and asks that due creditation is given. By the way, Sheree asks where did "Astoness" copy them from?
