Anyone have any photos of Longacre and Nechells Park Road, near Stuart street of Trevor street

There is an image on your site (attached) which does say it is New Inns, Nechells Park Road, I am not sure what the 35 refers too but it is unlikely there are two New Inns in the same road. This looks like a 1930's building which is out of context but has a lot going for it. It is the right...

Hi Lyn. Thanks for the image. The map from several years shows a P.H, or Inn on the corner of Stuart Street and Nechells Park Road and the 1955 map identifies this as New Inns. However, you have, perhaps unknowingly, come up trumps again for me. At the other end of Stuart Street, there is a...

Thanks mike, as mentioned the house numbers have helped enormously, whereas previously I believed Longacre finished at Charles Arthur Street I now see it continued to Rocky Lane. A great bit of information and solves another mystery. Thanks once again, great job.

I think I need a spell in Family History Anonymous to wean me off this. After initially tracing my ancestors back into the 1600's I am now keen to explore their lives, a sort of social history. My mother grow up in the area as previously mentioned and although her father died when she was only...

Hi Mike, once again you have come up with information I have long searched for. My great grandfather lived at 91 Longacre, but I could never tell where that was. Now I know. Longacre extended beyond Thimblemill lane as far as Charles Arthur Street where it turned into Cromwell street, do you...

Hi, Thanks for the maps, for many years I have been trying to find house numbers, but not just in Stuart Street. Some of my family used to live in Longacre, they appeared to have moved several times along the road and several families lived there. Can I be cheeky and ask is it possible to get...

Thank you, great site.

No 48 is to the right of the telephone pole, next to the shop.

Hi Lyn I have been working on this, this afternoon till now. I have a 1937 map of the street detailing the houses but would love any others that may be available. At the end of the street is first of all some Alms houses, followed by St Clements Church. Part of St Clements is still there till...

YOU ARE A STAR ..... This is the image I was after WOW the power of the internet. With reference to the image that got posted in my reply is complicated to explain as I didn't actually post the image. I posted the YouTube address but, I had that image on, on YouTube, which obviously got...

Wow, you must be busy, don't burn it. I was just browsing and in one forum you mentioned 'Bullivants Shop'. My mum worked in that shop pre-1940's. It was still there a few years ago.

Dear All, I do sincerely apologise, why I wrote 'Stewart' street and not Stuart Street beggars belief. There are no excuses, it must have been an adult moment or simply gross stupidity. What is more concerning is I continued to spell it wrong, yet I know it should be Stuart...... Sorry. It is...

Thanks Old Mohawk, sadly, the photo is not the Stewart Street in Nechells, but nevertheless and interesting old photo.

Ok, Thanks, I am not used to this forum and did consider posting in different ones.
