Hi All.

Just wondering if anyone would be able to shed some light on where Old Mill Court Bradford Street would have been c 1840s. Would there be any historic maps showing the area?
Thanks in advance.

Can’t see any mentions of Old Mill Court in the Press for the 1800s. Many mentions of Mill Pond, Mill and Old Mill Pool.
In 1823 known as Mr Gibson’s Mill.
 
There is a Mill Lane on the northern side of the coach station, and I've often assumed there was a mill thereabouts fed by a watercourse running from the Manor House moat (Moat Lane) down to the River Rea. (Mind you, there is also an Upper Mill Lane between Moat Lane and Digbeth, opposite the Adagio Aparthotel [whatever one of those is!] so there were probably more than one watermill in the area.)
 
Ok. I have a census record from 1841 with the address 9 Old Mill Court Bradford Street St Martin so just wondered if it was near the church!
