Love Lane went from Dartmouth Street and ran uphill past the side of Saint Lawence Church and over the canal bridge up to Aston Road. My A-Z's only show part of the Lane ( The lower half is missing ) Perhaps someone will post a better map, if not I shall post what I have.
The Photograph, well I was a bit too young to recognise the building, and it was most probably leveled to the ground.

Now us ex Nechellites would consider Love Lane Nechells or at least Gosta Green, isn't that right Ernie.
Here at the other end of Love Lane that used to run from the other side of Darmouth St opposite Lord St Nechells. are a couple of photo's one of the Nechells Church at the end of Love Lane St Lawrence's and the other of a Nechells firm Delta Metals preparing for a kiddies outing.

I also am glad to see you are still fighting fit and well, these pesky Astonites trying to pinch our streets. It always was Nechells and still is now even though the university have pinched it.

I very much appreciate your help with the address locations.
When you have time I would be interested to pinpoint the location of 36 Love lane, 34 Love Lane court 5 and 1 Love lane court 5.
Love lane seems very industrialised with quite a few factories and a church. In a newspaper readers letter dated 1867 I read that some of the factories around Love lane gave off some not very nice smells such as the Proctor and Ryland bone boiling works, the gas works and some factories using nitric acid called "aquafortis works".

Afraid I've not been too successful. Below is a map (c1889) of Love lane. also a much less detailed map of c1828 & c 1839. I am fairly sure that the numbers in red (1,2,3,4,5, Court 2 and Court 6) are in the correct position on the map. The blue numbers are where I think those houses were, but am not exactly certain. Court 1 (in green is where I think it must be, but ,other than that it is immediately before court 2 and some rather unclear directory evidence, I have no definite evidence. Court 5 must, I think have been demolished by the time of the 1889 map. The other maps show that there seem to have been a court/courts to the east of court 5 (a blank space on the 1889 map), and I assume that that was where court 5 was. It could possibly have had 34 houses on it, but can't think I've come across a court with that number of houses before.. Sorry I can't drag any more infp out for you, but if I do find anything else i will post further.

I cant thank you enough for the detailed map work you have done on my query about the location of houses in Love Lane. There were so many factories that I couldn't see where there could have been space for houses, but you solved that for me.
I see there was also a school in the middle of all the factories and 2 nearby chemical works, it couldn't have been healthy for the children but I suppose it was all part of life in a highly industrialised area in those times.
Thank you again for your help
