Welcome to the forum. Hope you find a lot to interest you here. Below is a map c1950 of the area around Lennox St, with no 51 in red. the pub next door was the Brook Tavern

Thanks so much for posting the map. My grandparents lived at 7 Jubilee Ave, Lennox Street in 1939, before moving to Great Barr where my Dad was born. Great to have this map and photos posted below

Have you seen this image of Jubilee Avenue? Unfortunately it only shows Nos. 1-6 (you can just about see 5mm of No. 7 on the RHS) No.7 would almost certainly be the same design as those shown.

Thankyou, I grabbed that image earlier but the one you have shared has a description and a date which is fab!

On the Birmingham map of 1889 this building is shown as 'Fountain Works (disused)', on the 1950s map it is labelled 'Brass Press Works'. I can find nothing relating to Fountain Works in the directories, I assume if it was disused by 1890 then it probably existed even before Lennox Street (Lenox Street) was built.
Can anybody help? What would the address be for this prior to Lennox Street? Thank-you

hi john would you have a decent overhead shot of 6/29 please...it was near the junction with farm st..map below

This is the only one I can find Lyn, it's not very good, I'll keep looking.

 

[brummy-lad]

Another from 1948, not brilliant quality, I'm not 100% sure of the position of No. 29.

Have you seen this one Lyn? admittedly it's a smidgen away from what you're looking for
