This is #39 - #41 Villa Road so those cottages in the first photo of post #75 labelled Oak Cottage. #41a - Linden Cottage - must have been next to these (to the right or perhaps behind #41 on the end-right side). Interestingly, Linden Cottage has a side gate, so was this gate leading to an entry off Villa Road ? There seems to be another building behind #41. It must be on a map. The image is from Birmingham Archives dated January 1981. Viv.
