A sketch by John L Baker of Boulton's warehouse in a poor state, presumably captured before it was soon to be demolished. Do we know whereabouts on Livery Street this would have stood? Viv.

Hi Viv,
I've been looking for a picture of the warehouse for years so thank you! I know it was on a corner, possibly of Water Street, as they would have used the canals I would think for transporting goods. If I remember correctly it was there until the 1940's so should appear on fairly recent maps. Warwickshire Archaeological Society did a paper on it but I've yet to find that as well.

Great article Janice! I happen to be a BIG Matthew Boulton fan! It’s a lot more than what he did with Watt & Murdoch. The Luna Society was in creditable in its day and was the “think tank” of its day!
Thank you for posting that!

Thank you for posting that Viv. So sad to see all of that history lost.

Searching for Louis Goldberg - the name on the warehouse in the photo reveals him listed at 57 Livery street.
I am hoping Mike can confirm this but that would be on the corner of Lionel street. The building shaded yellow. I have it on another map but it goes right on the edge of two maps. This map is 1887 survey and 1890 published.
Same date but different scale

You are meant to buy a copy so it won't download or copy. That is why I j=had to post the link. At least it is a photo and dated 1932.

Thank you so much Janice - that photo is just what I've been looking for. I didn't think it was on the photo of the corner posted earlier as I thought that was the area that my ancestor had a house. However, I've been wrong before! Well done!
