    Clarendon Street Aston

    Duddeston Mill Road

    There doesn't seem to be a thread solely dedicated to this road. Kelly's listing 1964 and partial map with house numbers 1966-1977 (rest of the map unavailable).

    Millicents shop New Street City Centre Birmingham

    A current view and 1950s map of what was Millicent's, No. 85 is Greggs, No.86 is First Personnel so I would think the shop is now occupied by The Royal British Legion (well in 2019 it was by 2022 it was empty).

I wouldn't be surprised if these had survived until the 1950s, looking at the dilapidated condition of the houses in the pictures...
