I was thinking that if you invested as much energy as you have done on researching the lamp you could perhaps find the cup that was lost!
Just checking. In the same way Lozells Lane became Lozells Road, was today's Hunters Road called Hunters Lane c1800-1900.and as i found out through years of researching the area where i grew up aston villa was an area as shown by this 1834 map...lozells lane was to become lozells road

Thanks for that. The tramway routes make sense now. Cheers. Am still having trouble pinning down when tramways first went down Heathfield Road. They are not on the photo and if we knew when they appeared then it would help us date the photo. Any ideas?yes quite right hunters road used to be called hunters lane but well before 1900..think ive got maps showing hunters lane as early as 1840 maybe even earlier than that..much the same as nursery road off hunters road used to be known as nursery terrace

Thank you. Will do so. I'm an idiot for not thinking of that myself.sorry i cant help with that but if you ask the question on our trams section you may get a better response as our tram experts may not read this thread if it is of no interest to them..click on link below

Sorry to trouble you again. But I've been told that one of the four founders lived near to Villa Cross in Little Hunters Lane. I can't find that on my map. Was it maybe the very top of Hunters Lane past the junction with Barker Street or was it elsewhere?yes quite right hunters road used to be called hunters lane but well before 1900..think ive got maps showing hunters lane as early as 1840 maybe even earlier than that..much the same as nursery road off hunters road used to be known as nursery terrace

Since I asked, I found out that the same question had been asked elsewhere and Mikejee gave the same answer as you. All good.i believe little hunters lane ran from barker st to villa road..sure i have a map showing it but cooking now so will look later unless someone else can provide you with a map
