Bowling Alley

Hope someone can help!! I have a family in the 1881 census living in Bowling Alley, Northfield, Worcestershire. Having looked at the pages either side of the entry it is somewhere between Staple Hall and Church Hill. Does anybody have a map that covers this area at this time (it doesn't exist now!!)

The 1890 map at https://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55144&sheetid=9256&ox=1084&oy=468&zm=1&czm=1&x=318&y=417
shows bowling alley. It has disapeared from the later 1903 map below, but must be the line of houses in red, on the west of west heath road just south of northfield station. from google, it doesn't seem to be there any more
