I have decided I can't wait for the 1911 census! I'm not usually this impatient but I'd like to find out who my ancestors neighbours were and what was going on in Bishop Street where they lived and had a factory.
So, I thought I'd start this thread and see if anyone else can help me build up a picture of Bishop Street, Birmingham. We have the 1901 census to build on so has anyone else got relatives who lived in Bishop Street (or just round the corner for that matter) between 1901 and 1911?
If you have, or know someone who did, just add the details to the thread and eventually, hopefully, we'll beat the census!
Looking forward to hearing from you all

PS. My ancestors were Thomas and Susan Woodyatt and they lived and had a wooden packing case factory at 25 Bishop Street plus a nail warehouse next door at 27 Bishop Street.
