Hi

Had a great get together today of Emery family members or descendents. Many thanks to the help I received in here.

Now a request please - Does anyone have any photos of the area around 127 Bordesley Park Road.

Many thanks




Bernard

t depends on when the photograph was taken Berniew. The c1889 large scale map (from which I got the position), shows enkins St ending at Cooksey Road, and another terrace where the lower part of Jenkins st is. this must have been demolished when the road was continued, but before the address would have been Cooksey Road
