I picked up the 3 volumes of "Old and New Birmingham" by Robert K Dent at the weekend car boot. They are divided into: "From earliest times to 1760", ”From 1760 to 1832" and “From 1832 to 1880". Originally published 1878 -1880 these were re-published in 1972.
There's an interesting item regarding streets and inhabitants from 1751. It was interesting to see how many inhabitants the smaller streets in the centre had. I suppose this reflected the small size of the City then. Also here are a couple of the prints.
