Whitmore Place, Road, Lane, Street?

[marie.e.bee]

Hello,

According to the 1881 census, my second great grandmother, Kate Harris (age 1) with parents Alfred and Eliza Harris - are listed as living at 1 Whitmore Place, Bordesley. I’ve been trying to find out exactly where the house would have been, but I’m finding Whitmore Road…Lane and Street and I’m wondering whether they all refer to the same place?

Can anyone help me to pinpoint where Whitmore Place would have been?

Whitmore Place was on Whitmore Road. It's split between 2 sheets on the maps, these from 1890...
