Birmingham Street Commissioners

Not strictly St Martin's related but I was wondering if anyone had details of the Street Commissioners circa 1801 - which was when the vote to demolish the 'shambles' around St. Martin's was taken and a levee to pay for the new graveyard imposed. I believe Sampson Lloyd and John Thompson were involved (they went on to found Lloyds Bank) and possibly George Barker (1776–1845), and John Baskerville (printer). Does ayone have any information?

Thanks,

Dave George
