This is a quote from the thread Moor Street/Dale End. The pic is not there but I have a feeling that the pic posted above is the same one.This is a the sort of photo I love to see moss. How nice that Matthew Jones was "Potato Salesman to the Queen"! He was obviously a very respectable trader with with his "by appointment" crest above the shop. And I hadn't realized that Freeman, Hardy, Willis was a long established shoemaker either. I must have bought a fair number of shoes from that company over the years. Viv.
It was quite short, as you can see from map c1950

Afraid Careys court disapears in the late 1860s, so is not shown on modern maps. However , going up Moor st, you go past Dingley's hotel, New meeting St and the Unitarian meeting house and then Carey's court, which gives an approximate position. A newspaper report states that someone was attacked in Dale End by the end of Carey's Court, and so it must have been a through passage. Therefore the thin passgae shown here in blue on the Pigott Smith map must be Carey's Court

Photo #6 has ”Henry Miles & Co, 27 Mincing Lane, London” (left). Is that another branch ? Was there a Henry Miles in Moor Street Birmingham ? Viv.
