The memorial window to the Rev Walton was installed at St Silas, I wonder if it is still there ?
 
The map below c1848, derived from the tithe map, shows villa st down to the Hockley Brook. The equivalent Birmingham map shows no buildings in the are immediately below the brook, just a gridline of streets. The only building on this map that I think might fit the drawing is that marked in red close to the corner of nursery terrace
