Where was Witton Terrace, Witton Road?
There are several mentions in the Archives before 1880, including N°1,3 and 11. From 1880 onwards there is mention of a Lime Terrace which appears to run from Witton Rd to Trinity Road (below the PO), and shown on the 1890 map.
So is Witton Terrace shown?

In the 1950s I worked in Witton and saw a lot of it. In the top left of the first pic (1939) is the Aston Villa ground and the Witton end terrace, a mound of earth with concrete steps can be seen. Slightly to the right is the Witton island with a tram turning into Witton Lane. Bottom left is the...
