Hello. My grandmother, Annie Lewis, lived in a back-to-back at 22 Stella Street from around 1915 to 1943. Stella Street is not there now, but I think it was off Nechells Park Road. Does anyone have any information on Stella Street? Thanks. Eileen.

The closest I can get to Stella Street is its junction with Nechells Park Road just before the New Inns on the corner of Stuart Street. I have however replaced the map showing the location of Stella Street.

A map by Phil in the Nechells Park Road thread: Stella Street looks quite short.

Nechells Park Road

I'm no transport buff, but I think it's pretty obvious that this photo taken in 1922 on Nechells Park Road shows one of the first 12 trolleybuses (no11) to operate in the Birmingham area as the Old Square to Nechells was the first route for this type of transport in 1922 and I believe...

Stella Street is now Showells Gardens. doing my ancestry a number of them lived on or near Stella street. Want to find out the house number order compared to the houses now there. I believe it was all rebuilt so less houses

My husband’s grandfather Joseph Robinson lived at 30 Stella Street until about 1915 when he left to get married. When his parents died his sister Lil (Robinson) took over the house. When my husband was small he visited in about 1960 and remembers the garden backing onto the railway with large black sleepers at the end. He thinks that the house was vacated not long after his visit when Lil died. Interesting to read where abouts the street was.

My Great Grandfather lived at 39 Stella Street in 2 census years. 1891 and 1901. The Cowley’s came from Crewe and before that, Stoke Goldington and CastleThorpe. Metal workers who worked on trains in Wolverton and Crewe. Joseph Cowley’s wife was Sarah Anne Robinson, met and married in Nantwich then moved to Stella Street.

I've been off the forum for a while, Willenhall is my real knowledgeable area. However, I bought a large amount of negatives from someone in London a few years ago, that have a midlands interest and today I came across this gem.
