House Numbering - any maps?

[Chris Rycroft]

Can anyone suggest any maps of Birmingham (or maybe other sources?) that would show (or provide clues to) the house numbering in the 1840s-90s, so that I can pinpoint the properties mentioned in census entries against a map? I've found the central Bham insurance maps from the 1890s which would have been ideal, but sadly they don't seem to quite reach to where I'm looking at (Bath Row, numbers 21 and 89). Any suggestions gratefully received!

You can try www.old-maps.co.uk
This is a section of map from 1888, I have now marked No. 21 due to positioning of Falconer rd & Malthouse written on map.


There is no numbering on the map above, but you should be able to work out from the church to the hospital,
from this 1867 Birmingham Post Office listings.


Map here shows Trees Inn at No. 100

A lot of the c1950s and alter maps on the old maps site show some numbering. But you should note that numbering has change don some streets on occasion. this is largely alteration form consecutive 1,2,3,4'' numbering to odd nos one side of the street, even the other. This happened in quite a lot of
streets, largely in th period 1882-1888, but also occasionally at other times. In addition, some streets were combined, in particular where there was an upper version of a street together with one with just the name alone, these being combined.
