Has all evidence of car stands been wiped away in and around the city? According to Cornish's 1851 "Strangers Guide through Birmingham" there were about 30 of these in operation. Did any, over time, become for example taxi ranks or bus stops/lanes? Cornish lists stands in the following locations:
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
Great Hampton St. Vauxhall.
