There is a 'sheet metal workers' called Unity listed as 52/53 Summer Lane in both the 1964 & 1967/68 Kelly's. On the 1966/67 map it is labelled 'welding works'. I can find no other sheet metal factories on Summer Lane. It would be a 20min walk or 5 minutes by car from Park Lane

It certainly was in 2024 Lyn.

Such sad news, I never met Eric but would have been honoured to meet him, I am always in awe of people with his artistic ability and reading all of these messages shows what a lovely person he was too. I will very much miss seeing his paintings of Birmingham.

Hi Lyn, this map that Mike posted has it as No.32

I don't understand this Mike, what am I not seeing? on all of the Kelly's the Clements Arms is shown as No. 30 not No. 32.

Yes Janice, the photo and christian name could help enormously. Quite a conundrum this one.

Various Kelly's 1899 to 1967/68, No. 40 is not recorded after 1921.

In 1899, the late Albert Cox was at No. 34, perhaps there has been some renumbering?

There was a No. 40 in 1915 and seems to be on the No. 46 side of Bowyer Street. What's strange is that the building standing there today looks much older than the 1960s

An aerial view from 1937 of Bowling Green Terrace (or Road)

It seems that in the 1950s Bowling Green Terrace was called Bowling Green Road and some properties survived.

Hi Philip welcome to the forum. I have attached a map showing the location, as you are probably aware this no longer exists. You may get better responses if you start a thread as 'Bowling Green Terrace off Coventry Road'.

I'm sure that there are more qualified people on BHF to help you but I did find this.

I think it says Garabaldi Terrace possibly misspelt as Garibaldi Terrace.

Comparing residents in 1883 and 1990 then for certain Hunter's Lane became Hunters Road. In 1890 there is no entry for 7 Hunter's Road.
