Ive had a quick look around here but cant find much or anything on the above street, iv just bought a property there and wanted to learn about its history of street and hopefully the house as its victorian built .
wow didnt know this was possible ...ok its 38 Primrose Lane ....If you give the address, then we may be able to find some information for you
its quite a long road isn't it ....I don't think any have the original names but as soon as I complete ill get the deeds looked at and see what I can find out ...In 1911 the houses had names not numbers so locating the exact property might prove tricky. I assume Sunnyside is nearest Baldwin's Lane. I also think there were 2 othe unnamed properties listed on a nother page. Do any of the houses still have names by any chance? At that time the property was in Yardley.

oooh what at NO38 ....?? what is erolls ?I drive down it quite often so perhaps I will go more slowly next time and see what I can spot. I have found via e rolls that the Vale Family lived there either side of WW2 but by then the house was numbered.
it looks like Herbert William passed away between 1950 and 1952 bless himSome e-rolls are also available at http://www.midlandshistoricaldata.org/, though you need a sub or credits to view.
For 38 Primrose Lane:
1922 John Cotton
1925 John & Harriett Johnson & Richard Ernest Sadlier & Clara Sadlier
1930 Edith Alice & Herbert William Vale
1935, 1939,1945 and 1947 Edith Alice, Florence Edith & Herbert William Vale
1950 Edith Alice, Florence Edith, Alfred G.R. & Herbert William Vale
1952 Edith A Vale
1955 Edith Vale & Edna & Robert Browning
1957, 1962 & 1965 Edith A Vale
so on the above pic where is primrose lane starting ?
Hi ...I did a drive by today and two doors down they still have the name plaque on the house as Sunnyside, so that's two doors down coming in from the Robin Hood Lane end of the road ....In 1911 the houses had names not numbers so locating the exact property might prove tricky. I assume Sunnyside is nearest Baldwin's Lane. I also think there were 2 othe unnamed properties listed on a nother page. Do any of the houses still have names by any chance? At that time the property was in Yardley.

Hi no as my post just said ...two doors down has a sunnyside plaqueDrove down there this morning. Spotted the house in question - sold sign a bit of a giveaway. Unfortunately that set of houses don't seem to have any names on the walls. I was hoping they would have been in plasterwork high up but I couldn't spot any. We might have to try guesswork based on where in the group it comes.
