108a Bolton Road, Small Heath (Bordesley Registration District) 1891

Hi there,
I am new to this, so please bear with me if I am in the wrong place. I have been looking at the 1891 Census for my family history and am interested to see if any maps of the area exist. Even better would be any photographs/images of what the properties would have been like. According to the census 9 people were living in this property. Would these have been back to back housing?? If anyone could help or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
 
Below is a map showing 108 Bolton Road. The road going diagonally accross the top left hand corner is Dixon Road. It was not a back to back, but a terraced house. Presumably it was divided into 108 and 108A.

Hi Mikejee,
Thank you so much for the information, I have been looking at the census information again and it seems that the property number was 319. I had read it wrongly ( told you I am new to this!), I noticed that no-one else had an A after their property number. If I may ask a question, is the map that you are using available on a website? It would be great to see the detail of where everything was.
