New Street. Islington Row. Bristol Road. Five Ways. Dale End.
Square (?). Snow Hill. Temple Row. Bath Row. Bull Ring.
Spark Brook. Colmore Row. Pershore Road. Ann Street. Wellington Rd.
Paradise St. Constitution Hill. Hockley Hill. Great Charles St.
Aston Street. Graham Street. Infantry Barracks. St. Martin's Church.
Broad Street. Deritend. Camp Hill. Friday Street
