Factory Road - building name on death cert.

[Mrs Bear 51]

Greetings all,
I have attached (I hope) a death cert for a lady called Hannah Wheeler.
I can make out that she died in at Factory Road, but I can't make out the building name - can anyone help and tell me the relevance (if any) of the building.
Thank you
Jo

Looks like Carver Street which if so is still there in the jewellery quarter.

Yes, that's where her daughter Caroline was living, it's the address where Hannah died that I'm after.
Thank you.

Hi,

Could it be Powell's Building?

Kind regards
Dave

Yes I agree. Cannot find reference to Powell buildings in directories , but not surprising as ones of that period do not list factory Road as then outside birmingham

I thought it looked like Powells Building but the only one I could find was the Gun shop on Carrs Lane.

1889 town plan Powells Buildings appear to be on the continuation of Factory Road that is actually Benson Road.

On a different scale to put it in situ - roughly where the yellow line is. 1890 map

Or , on a modern view, the position of the red line

Thanks all - sorry I've not responded sooner, but I didn't get any notifications you'd all replied, and I just realised I hadn't looked at the site for a while.
