Birmingham Maps - with house numbers ??

I'm trying to find street maps that include house numbers.

A day at the Birmingham Archives has highlighted 1:500 maps which are great for seeing individual buildings - but no house numbers included. The Archives Staff were unaware of anything that might include this.

Am I onto a loser here, or can anyone give me some pointers on where I might be able to find this information. The street that I'm after is Victoria Grove, between Ashley Street & Benacre Street - it was bombed in 1940 so no longer exists.

Any help appreciated !

Thanks
 
If you look in a 1930s edition of Kellys directory you can find intersecting streets the numbers are given at the intersections so from this you should be able to work out where houses are
 
Michael G is correct is principle, but victoria grove wasn't a street but a terrace, and, as such, would, in most cases not be included in the directory except as a mention as a turning off Benacre st. You will find it with the listed occupants on the electoral rolls, but these do not make it clear how they are numbered.

Thanks for your responses, useful information that I can use for some other locations. I guess my search for 36 Victoria Grove continues !!
