Aerial view showing 3bk108

Have you seen the thread for Clarendon Street? https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/threads/clarendon-street-aston.11971/

Hi Lindsey welcome to the forum. I think your family lived at 3bk108 Clarendon Street (I lived in Parliament Street the next street up Park Lane), if this is correct there are a couple of members that lived in that street so may improve your chances if you add the street to the title. How...

Seems to fit as being Alexandra Street quite well.

An aerial view from 1933 and map 1950s. Unfortunately No. 106 is not shown.

Several years are available (CDs) on eBay 67-68, 72-73 plus some earlier ones. £6.99 each.

The sign is from the Victorian era which made me think perhaps one of the houses used to be a shop. From 1900 to 1932 (at least) No. 55 Ingleby street was a shop. This does not prove that it is Ingleby Street but perhaps other Hockley streets had a shop in front of Laurel Place

I don't think that photo is in the right part of Barr Street. I have attached an aerial view form 1948 and marked the approx. position of #177. In 1955 there was a coffee room next door at #175.

Photo was taken just before the road crosses the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal/

An aerial view from 1951 and map (1950s).

Here it is Lyn Kelly's 1933.

Certainly looks as though the original building is still there on the corner, although extensively refurbished (chimneys removed, new roof etc.).

An aerial view from 1924.

Map showing Court 12, No. 3bk74 would have been in this Court.

It appears that the area around #74 suffered bomb damage in 1940 which probably resulted in demolition in this area.

In 1939 they were living at Roshven Avenue, Balsall Heath. May be a coincidence but in 1939 there was another Weaver family living at 266 Camden Street.

Map showing approx area of 3bk74 Camden Street, will look to find exact property and possibility of photo. All demolished by 1950s,

An aerial view from 1939, not high resolution unfortunately.

Hi Linellie, welcome to the forum. If you want to give your granparents name(s) I can give you a map showing the house they lived in, there might even be a photo of it.

Looking at the aerial view Mike , the chimneys look correct as is the gap on LHS and also the the 'V' section on the facade of the factory next door. EDIT: Just realised you wanted to know if it was the photo that had been hacked which obviously this post does not answer.
