Prospect place Hunters Road

[Robert Dyer]

Does anyone have a map showing the area called Prospect Place that was off Hunters Road and was close to the Bridge Tavern? My grandfather worked at Savilles Ltd that was located at the end of Prospect Alley I am working on his life story as part of our family history. Also if anyone has any info on Saville's Ltd that would be a bonus.
Thanks

I have moved these posts to a new thread as this is a different Prospect Place
In the 1950 Kellys Saville's (1902 Ltd) is listed as finings manufacturers in Hunters Road., next to the Bath Tavern. So The building on Brummy lad's map saying "Beer fining works" would be Savilles. The un-named year in which it it is would be Prospect place. Incidentally on the 1880s map it is marked as court 2.
Incidentally for the benefit of other searchers this is complicated by the fact that in the 1950s and early 60s there was a G Saville, scrap metal merchants at Prospect Place, Prospect Row !!

Thanks for the prompt reply and map. I found a newspaper article relating to a fire in February 1915 that gutted the factory next door and also nearly took out Saville’s.
