Anyone have olde pics of this road, not the lock keepers cottages, my Mum lived at no 50, wud love to look at where she lived, feel it had a shop front because they sold newspapers and lamp oil. Kids used to read the comics thru the window and pee through the grating into the cellar, where her father was working making military medals. Think there was a chapel on this road also. Didnt the council think about doing a video of the road before demolishing it?

Janice I am a thicko here, have put in a few suggestions but got no where, please indulge in my thickness and explain to an oldun what I shud put into the search box....thanks
 
Belmont Row and tick "titles". Several possible will come up and one has the word "chapel" in it but you might find other threads useful for pics.
I think number 50 was only separated from St Peter's Mission by a court.
 
I wonder if Birmingham Waste was the man we used to collect what was left at the the end of a jumble sale in the 1970's. He recycled everything - mostly I think for cleaning rags in factories.

What do you want from Kelly's?
In 1940 numbers 38 to 43 were occupied by a haulage contractor. Simpson Allen Ltd.
