Dyers' Buildings, Park Road

[FauxFaux]

Does anyone know anything about the above location? It was in the parish of All Saints in Soho. It's turned up on a death certificate for an ancestor but I'm not having much luck tracking anything down about it - there are so many results for the Holborn / London EC1 buildings by the same name that get in the way!

There is a Park Road in Moseley, but it is, and has always to my knowledge been largish houses. Addresses with buildings in the name would not fit in there. Just seen Astoness's post and agree. Will see if I can find any there

Is this any help?

I assume that it is quite an old reference. There is a Dyers buildings just off Park Road on the 1880s map. at https://maps.nls.uk/view/228801563 Is shown in red below:

The buildings were apparently still there in 1950, and commented upon, though perhaps not with a recommendation to live there. But in 1911 the tenants seem to want to stay

Soho Pool was backing on to Park Road, Hockley, B'ham. 18. from Whitmore street near the bus depot and the rail shunting yards were also there
