Have been exploring the Birmingham Collections website. Real goldmine this one - thousands of photos from amongst other things the Warwickshire Photographic Survey - most of which I have not seen before. Also loads of old maps etc.
I'll leave you to explore - you can easily navigate your way around from this page, featuring a ratings map from the Hunters Vale / Villa St area from 1889. Go back to the "Browse Archive" button and from there you can get going.

It is a very useful addition to the resources available. It is marked beta, and is definitely still a work in progress, some items being place d in rather pecuiar places, but I am sure that will be sorted out. I did hope the licensing records might be on it. they were not, but hopefully might be in the future
