    Homes Buildings

    On the census Court 6 is recorded between Nos. 18 & 19, I would think No.1 would be the house behind No. 19 but can't be sure.

    On the 1911 census it is referred to as part of the parish of St. James' (Mere Green) but obviously covers a large area. There is a Thomas Baker aged 17 at Four Oaks Common Road.

    OLD AND NEW PHOTOGRAPHS

    Recent view from Saltley Road (Nechells Parkway), the old brewery on Cato Street North looks in a sorry state and they'll soon have an excuse to demolish and replaced with an industrial unit. Gas holders on Nechells Place long gone.

    Mapplebecks buildings

    Very strange this one, on the 1891 census there is no listing after No. 80 on Dugdale Street, on the 1901 census Mapplebeck Buildings are listed after No. 80. Also on the 1901 census both Wilkes Buildings and Mapplebeck Buildings are listed in Moilliett Street.
