Barn Street Aston

Memebers of my family during 1850 - 1890, lived in various house in Barn Street and what would haved been the back-back houses listed in census records as courts.
I'm trying to find any old photographs of the the road or courts, can anyone help.
 
hi graham...must admit i have not heard of barn st in aston but i will have a search for pics for you...

lyn
 
there is a barn st B5 its off fazeley st so i assume thats the one graham...
 
Lyn you,r probably right mikee reminded me that area once came under Aston Manor. Dek
 
Hi Astoness,
Thanks for your reply. The best I can trace is actually in what is digbeth, close to the dogs home. It also runs off Milk street. My Grandad lived in Barn Street and married a girl from milk street. Almost neighbours, I guess.
These address get confusing as they seem to be often miss spelt and the districts change
 
yes graham..you have the right location but finding any pics is proving difficult...i have one more person i can ask...dont give up though as i always say...they are out there somewhere...

Hi Lyn
Thanks for your interest and trying to locate photos. Although Barn Street is perhaps a small street and of little national importance, I guess someone may just have an odd photo, tucked away.

I'm really sorry, it doesn't seem to be working , I cant see what is wrong it's the right size and format, it's just not picked it up. this seems to be happening a lot lately, I've never had problems before.
 
I know Mikejee posted an old photo of a shop & delivery van in Barn Street last year. I can't remember what thread it was on though.

Perhaps if he looks in on this thread he may repost it.

I think i remember the one you meant, but can't find it now. Possibly it was one i lost when i had on eof my two crashes last year. will post ifi find it. I did search the forum as well and don't seem to find anything.

it's probably one of the photos that were lost, to save you the bother of searching further, if you don't mind I will post a copy that I have. It's doesn't show much of Barn St other than a local grocery & sweet shop and a delivery van with St Gabriel's in the background. But in cases like this where there is a of a rarity of photos it is better than nothing.

That's fine phil. I think it was a postcard from e-bay. Trouble is nothing happens when i click on your attchment.

there seemed to be some sort of a hitch when I first uploaded it, so I made some alterations and it seems to be fine now.

Phil
 
Can see it now Phil, but am not sur eif it was I that originally posted it. i seem to remember that I looked for and identified the Francis shop after someone else posted it . Or it might be me getting a bit senile.
Mike
 
Thanks to every one who contributed to this thread, it's great to know so many indivduals join in and are able to help.
I will save the photos with my family tree-history.
Best wishes to all.
 
I have just seen the photo from the link from Colin.
I noticed the ducts/ shoots which appear on the fronts of the buildings. As a architect-surveyor I have studied buildings, and refurbished many from the 1900's but I haven't see this arrangement before. There seems to be a door at the bottom persummably for emptying something, perhaps ashes from the fire ?
Has any one got any other ideas ?
 
Hi Graham

Although it doesn't say so in the post, the houses in that photo were actually flats. So I was just wondering as they seem to terminate on a balcony if they were rubbish chutes.

Phil
 
Its great to see the pictures of Milk Street, looking at the old street map I have its taken looking down Milk st and whoever is taking the picture is standing in Barn St ?? I had family living in Barn St Court 9 Burbage/Jewkes any info on the type of houses or family members would be great =)
