Hi Michele
Cranemore Street ran from Trevor Street to Cattells Grove, unfortunately like most of Nechells it is no longer with us. It's not an area of Nechells I knew well but I managed to find a couple of photos and the map will help you to locate it's position. Just click on the images to enlarge them.
Hi Michelle. I lived at 22 Cranemoor Street all through the 50's. Family moved to ward End in 1961/2 when I was 11. Remember playing amongst the paper bales in the paper mill and the stench from the paint factory at the bottom of Trevor Street being enhanced by the lovely aromas from the chemical works at the bottom of Cattells Grove at the other end of the street. Attended Eliot Street infants and primary school from 1955/6 to 1961/2. GeoffDoes anyone have any pictures or memories of this street please?

i remember the shop.on the corner of cattles grove. cranemore st. 1948 to 1959. we plade in the smellyHi
My family name is Shakespeare. We lived in 7/22 Cranemore Street until I was 18. It was a terrace of houses running down to the canal. Accessed via a wide opening between 22 and 20. Our houses backed onto the paper mill and were owned by them. 3 up 3 down - with outside loo in back yard. We were a family of 8 (6 kids) and our playground was the streets around us. On one corner of the street was the "outdoor" where we bought or weekly treats of pop and crisps. On the other end of the street was a corner shop where we bought our ice lollies. Some family names I remember are Mosely, Marmion, Lions, Gilchrist.
Ah Cattles Grove (couldn't remember the name). Knew a family who lived up there, name of King. On the corner of the grove and Mount street was a shop where we got most of our groceries.i remember the shop.on the corner of cattles grove. cranemore st. 1948 to 1959. we plade in the smelly

Cranemore as I recall. Have that name etched in my mind.
In the second picture there is a gap between 2 houses. This was called the opening which lead to 10 terraced houses and then to the canal. I lived with my family at No.7. The houses backed onto the paper mill and a path ran past all the houses and separated their gardens from the house. My address was 7 back of 22 Cranemore Street - written as 7/22 Cranemore Street.Hi Michele

Hi. I appreciate this post is several years old but just stumbled across it whilst doing my own research on family who I have found a census that tells me they lived at number 6 cranemore St! Their surname name was Linforth. It would have been long before you lived there. I wonder if you managed to find out anymore info and if number 6 is in fact in the photos ?Hi Phil.
Thank you so much for your information.
I lived at number six, from memory, i believe the corner shop on the left was an outdoor. because of the paint factory i suffered from breathing difficulties, and spent a of of time in convalescent homes in the West Country.
Could you please tell me where you accessed the map from please.
Wow thank you so much. This was my great great grandparents houseI think it is possible that no. 6 is the second house in the second photo of post #2. As you can see from the map below (1950) no. 2 is on the corner and is slightly larger than the other houses and there is no no. 4. The gap in the houses also appears to be in the correct spot and the other corners seem to have normal width houses...

I see what you mean on the mapSorry MWS I must disagree. Was about to post. If you look at the photo you will see that after the first six houses, the houses are slightly set back. This is not present on he east side of the map, where no 6 is. However it is shown on the west side at the other end, which places the end house in the photo being no 71

That’s ok. I thought it was too much of a miracle that I found a picture of their houseI'm sorry Lucyjoanne, as Mike as rightly pointed out it seems I've mislead you.
I'm not sure Mark, on the image in post #2 the second block of houses is set back which gives the impression it has been taken from Cattell's Grove, although I have to agree on the image it does look a bigger property whereas on the map No. 71 doesn't.I think it is possible that no. 6 is the second house in the second photo of post #2. As you can see from the map below (1950) no. 2 is on the corner and is slightly larger than the other houses and there is no no. 4.
