Powell baker at 43 High St Deritend

[Shirleyanne]

My ggg grandmother, Dorothy Powell, was a baker at 43 High St, Deritend in 1839 and was still there in 1871.
Does anyone know where this would have been in relation to the current road, or have any more info about the business?

The shop would have been roughly opposite The Old Crown on the south side of the High St close to Alcester St.

Thanks for that - it's good to be able to visualise where the shop was.
Is there a map available to view of this area showing the road any time between 1830 and 1870?

This map is 1890 approx. This area may not have changed much from 1870-1890. The Crown is north side of High Street just west of Alcester which is the road at bottom right that runs through the 'D'. You can hold down the ctrl button and use the wheel on your mouse to zoom in. Maybe you have already done this. Link below..
