I am trying to locate some old pictures of banbury street, digbeth, and in particular number 2 banbury street which according to the current google street map - number 2 is next door to the birmingham gun barrel proof house. The current google street view, shows some factory buildings with corrugated iron roof where number 2 would of been. I presume the original houses were knocked down. Has anyone got any old pictures/photos or any info relating to houses on banbury street ?

What period are you referring to. I ask because , certainly up to the 1920s , no 2 was at the opposite end of the street on the south side. G
The numbering that appears on google is very vague and they do not claim it to be accurate. It may have changes since WW2 of course, but certainly till the 1920s it was at that end

Sorry .slightly mislead you. It should have read "on the opposite END of Banbury St, on the south side". Below is a map showing that end with some numbering . You can see that exactly which is no 2 is not clear from the information I have .
