My great grandmother lived in Coleshill Street (No 79) and also various addresses in Great Lister Street (No's 9, 37 and 39) in the early 1900's. I would love to get hold of some old photo's of these streets at about this time. I would also like to find out whereabouts these addresses might be located.
I have discovered that the shop on the corner of Gt Lister St and Windsor St was no 34, so presumably nos 37 and 39 were located close by, perhaps on the opposite side of the road.
Can anyone help?
As an aside I happened to be in Brum a few days ago and took the opportunity to wonder from Colmore Row out to Gt Lister St. Of course Coleshill runs through the campus of Aston University, and Gt Lister St is a collection of warehouses, and small businesses. What a desolate soul-less place it has become. I felt profoundly depressed!
