    How would I find when Frank Knight moved into the shop at 2 Aston Brook Street? Which records should I look at?

    Number 12 and 13 Weston Avenue seem to disappear from the plans between the 1900s and the 1920s. Weston Avenue is still standing today as part of Aston Brook Green.

    So the buildings were there in 1900 meaning we have narrowed down that they were built between 1892 (when they aren't on the OS MAP) and 1900.

    Thanks so much. When do the buildings first appear on plans? They aren't there on the plan from 1891.

    Thanks Lyn. I just looked at that, I can see the houses weren't there on the plan that covers to 1891.

    That is really interesting, I wonder what the shop was. I wonder if the properties were empty from 1946 until the renovation started in 1979? By the look of our picture they had probably been empty a few years, but I hadn't imagined it had been that long. Where did you get the plan from?

    Aston Brook Street/Chester Street

    This image shows what is now 1 Aston Brook Green in the corner of Chester Street and Aston Brook Street (East) in Aston. The photograph was taken in 1979 before the housing was saved from demolition, renovated and named Aston Brook Green. We are interested to hear the history of these houses...
