If any members live outside Birmingham and want a great place to stay during visits I would heartily recommend staying at one of the two National Trust Back Properties located at 52 & 54 Inge St just off Hurst St. I now live in Ireland and have stayed in No 52 which is set up in Victorian style and will be back at No 54 (1930's style) on a visit next year. Close to everything in city centre and great value! Please see link below.

There are no maps that show earlier numbering, but the reason that , in this case, the houses were renumbered in hurst St was that hurst St and Lower Hurst st were combined into Hurst St in around 1898 (between the 1897 and 1899 Kellys directories) If there are any particular numbers you are interested in, I can probably work out the equivalent before and after from directories
Therefore I have added to your plan in red what ?I believe to be the correct numbers for Inge St. Below also is a map c1889 where I show court 13 in green.
Ignore the other court in red. I am having trouble with the old maps site (I suspect with the lockdown they are having a very large demand which is causing it) and have used a previoues map I had for another purpose.
