Clarendon Street Aston

[ET55]

ET55, I am Clarendon Street born and bred, sorry to say I have yet to find a view of that part of the street, all I can remember of the house's around that part was very long entries with bigger than average gardens which I think lead on to the Retreat, Britain from Above web site has a very good photo of that area from 1938, I am not sure if I or some else posted the said photo on here somewhere, in fact I have used the photo for my mouse mat,

Thank you for trying anyway. I have seen the Aerial View and I had an idea of where #38 might be - your description helps a lot.
Anyone heard of a Harry Evans from the area, by the way? I can't find him anywhere.

From what time frame? What details do you have?

It may be better to start a new thread under surname interests. It's likely to get more notice and it'll stop this thread from going off topic.

Thank you MWS - I didn't know I could do that. Meantime: Harry Evans was a "regular visitor" to Nellie Walker at number 38 Clarendon Street from around 1915 to 1920. He was named in a divorce petition, that failed through lack of evidence in 1922.

In 1920 there were 27 Harold Evans on the Birmingham Electoral Roll

Hi Lyn, I do have a few same as post 31 and one or two more, but better quality, the problem I have is that I am having major problems with my computer system and unable to access them at the moment, I have just purchased an apple mini mac 2 pro and I am having problems with that as well, my own fault, I forgot what my apple password is and cannot get into the system , Apple support are as useful as a snow ball in hell, just waiting for it to be re-set to the factory setting so I can start again, could be a few weeks.

Hi my husbands family the GROGAN’S lived at number 81 would have been the late 1800’s as his Gt Uncle never returned from the WW1 & was killed in action in 1917 before he went he worked at a Bicycle factory in Aston (1911) it would be great to see a picture of No 81

Hi Maria and welcome to the forum.

There are very few images of Clarendon Street, I have posted an aerial view and map showing No. 81 (I don't think the houses were ever renumbered so it should be correct).

I lived in Parliament Street (the next street), the part where No. 81 was located I never realised it existed until a few years ago.

There are a few images (but not the end where 81 was) on:
