Nechells Place

If anyone knows of maps or photographs of Nechells Place I would be very keen to hear from them. A good few years since I last tried to find information about where my mother spent her early years I have found her address in the 1901 census.

This is the only photo of Nechells Place that I have, as I said I am sure if you use the search engine on this site you will come across others.

I love this picture of the gas works, I went past it so often on the No. 8 bus from Park Lane to Saltley. The only part remaining is the railway wall on the right hand side although the Albion Vaults still exists further down on the corner of Nechells Place and Cato Street North.
I know that the gas works (by modern standards) was an eyesore but what about the replacement?
