Alma Terrace, Stoney Lane, Sparkbrook

There seem to have been a number of Alma Terraces in Birmingham around the 1890's. Would anyone know anything of an Alma Terrace off Stoney Lane, Sparkbrook? It seems my great-aunt Eva Madeline Hunt was born there in 1889.

Thanks, Dai.
 
Hi Dai


Alma Place on Stoney Lane would have been near the bottom of Highgate Rd on the opposite side of Stoney Lane before they did the alterations to the road layout, See the two maps. It's marked Alma Terrace on one map and Alma Place on the other.

Thank you Phil, that's great. My first time on here ... joined tonight. The bakery in one jpg makes sense too as her father William, my great-grandfather, was a baker journeyman. They had moved on to Stourbridge by the 1891 census. Cheers, Dai.

As both maps were from the 1950's I don't think the Bakery was there when your Great Aunt lived in the locality. In fact earlier maps & Kelly's Directory confirm that it wasn't. Though there were plenty of Bakery's in the area at that time.
