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.

Hi no as my post just said ...two doors down has a sunnyside plaque
I would think so.Is that because sunny side is the last of the Victorian houses and there was nothing else built then after that one before Baldwin’s lane
I would think so.
Suspect name is Wimslow as that is how it was spelt in 1911 by the occupier.
Before then it is harder to trace as it wasn't part of Birmingham. I have had a quick look at 1901 census but difficult as there is no name to go on.
im going to go with Wimslow ..thankyou for finding this out ....why wasn't it part of Bham and why do you think it didn't have a name in 1901 ?
