    Unable to trace Lime Street, Smethwick

    It doesn't really make sense that on the 1901 census there are numerous properties listed and yet only showing on Kelly's for 1908, having said that if there were no trades in Lime Street I suppose it wouldn't be listed. Apparently King Street was partially built in 1904.
