I am researching for a book on a murder in Nuneaton in 1832, the perpetrator of which was tried, hanged and then sent for dissection in public (by William Sands Cox) at Birmingham Medical School at Snow Hill. The Cadbury Special Collection team at Birmingham University have advised me of the following:
The Snow Hill premises were located at the corner (practically coincident with the present portion of Great Charles Street) which led to Livery Street. The Birmingham School of Medicine was based here between 1829 and 1834.
I have found a very helpful post in the Birmingham History Forum (that perhaps indicates this may not be totally accurate) with some images of maps - so useful - thanks. I am after any information at all on the background to, location of etc. of this building. An image would be brilliant but the Cadbury Special Collection team are unaware of any in existence.
Grateful for any help and information.
