Whilst on the subject of nechells park road, Auustin street nechells springs to my mind
formerly Ann street and becoming Austin street in 1872, the date of the renaming
is too early too suggest that it relates to Austen Chamberlain, the oldest son of Joseph Chamberlain,
whom was only nine years old at that time.. what ever its origins,
Austin Street ran from Nechells park road to mount street,
And was one of a host of streets to disapear in the post second world war redevelopment of Birmingham
best wishes a always,,,, Alan, Astonian,,,,
