Fisher Street

I am researching Fisher Street where my G.G. Grandparents lived in 1891. I would like to know if anyone has any photographs, information or stories of the street and any indication of house numbers. I am particularly looking for 48 Fisher Street.

Thank you

Hi mikejee, I don't know how you do it, but over the years you have been so helpful to me and come up with the goods. I have a family history project intended to try to identify exactly where my ancestors lived. In some cases, with the help of you and Britain by Air, I have been able to identify the houses where they lived. Thank you for this, I know I will be asking more.
 
Hi Astoness, You too have also provided me with invaluable information over the years which is really appreciated. All of my maternal side came from Birmingham and surrounding areas. I do have and use the Georeferenced Maps viewer - Map images - National Library of Scotland and reference it a lot, but the older maps (as far as I can see) don't include house numbers. Fisher Street is somewhere under Aston University along with Colesehill Street, Does Street, Princes Street and many others where my ancestors used to live. It is sad that it was all destroyed in the 1960's
