Thats great its on an existing map, Aston Lad! I think Kellys must have used an older map rather than updating. Old Maps are so authorative I trust them, but for my purposes the Kellys "1897" would be superb. Is there any chance you could post a scan of the location BSW?

Thank you, Aston Lad.Thats really interesting. There was indeed a James Warner living in Blews St West. I have checked the 1889 & 1903 maps again, plus the 1901 census, but none of them show BSW, so it had disappeared by 1889. The "new" roads are in a grid pattern & as BSW linked Camden &...

Blews St West was probably redeveloped between 1895 (Kellys 1896) & 1889 (Old Maps), but where was BSW? It was variously described as "top of Lower Camden St" Kellys 1872, "off 132 Lower Camden St" Kellys 1880 & running from "Clissold St to Camden St" Kellys 1896. It is not shown on the 1828...

That could be interesting, Mike. Thank you for alerting us to this.

Such joy! Congratulations, all.

The Plough & Harrow was rebuilt 1832-33 to a design by John Fallowes who may have been inspired by Jeffrey Wyatville's Lilleshall Hall. Fallowes was also responsible for 31(?) & 35 Calthorpe Rd.

Here is the absolutely sumptious Plough & Harrow as it looked in 2011. The service was second to none.

Thank you for bringing this planning appliction to our attention, Barnard. How odd that Island House is claimed to be of low architectural significance!

Good find, Viv.

Good news. The Gas Retort, having been bought by Ashtenne & renovated has now been removed from English Heritage's At Risk Register. The owners of this landmark building are in negotiations with a company considering setting up a gym & creche.

Thank you for sharing, Viv. What a testament the room is to the craftsmen who created it.

Ray this is so public spirited of you. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Paul. Its made researching much easier.

The Pigots Commercial Directory 1818-19-20 covers Birmingham, so its an alternative to Wrightsons Triennial. So far I can only locate this read online version...

I just assumed the monochrome was part of your plan, Eric. Do you have any paintings of Gas St that you can upload?

Misty & cold too, by the looks of it Eric. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Froth, Templar & of course Eric.

These paintings provide such joy, Eric. Thank you so much for posting.

"From the balcony before our windows (the Hen & Chickens Hotel) we could see down the whole length of the street; although a good width it has not a pleasing appearance from the uniform colour of the houses which are built of dark red bricks & which, as is usually the case in England, not being...
