Lloyd Street - Small Heath

[Solihull54]

This photograph shows Cyril Road in Small Heath during 1906. The photograph is taken from the northern end of the street, the photographer would have been stood close to the bank on the corner of Coventry Road. I think the building on the corner is still trading as a bank - well, it was up until recently.
The chimney in the distance may be on the other side of the railway in Montgomery Street.
I have placed a 'modern' inset so you can compare the road from Edwardian times to the 21st century. Personally, I think parked cars are a blot on the landscape.
The large house to the right was occupied by the pawnbroker Louise Adelaide Jephcott. She succeeded her mother Elizabeth as the head of the business. Her mother was originally from Leyland to the south of Preston in Lancashire. The family had premises in Bromsgrove Street which, in the 19th century, was operated by her husband William who was a watchmaker and pawnbroker.
Also living on that side of the road at this time was the Lincolnshire-born tailor Levi Green and William Turner, a watch and clock repairer.

I'm trying to track down where 24 Lloyd Street Small Heath was. My great grandfather lived there in about 1906 and I'm trying to track details through the census from 1891, 1901, and 1911 and locations known to the family. Anything g nowhere to look at old maps etc much help.

When I got married in 1957 we lived in rooms at 6 Lloyd Street, Small Heath, for about 15 months.

Thanks to those who replied with an area map and photos from around 1906. I checked back through the 1901 census and found that my great grandad and his family lived there so 7 of them it must have been very tight in a 2up 2 down terrace. My grandad moved to Moseley at some point between 1901 and 1911 as he was resident at 63 Church Road there in 1911 with same number in family. Census 1901 attached.
