Heath Street, Winson Green

[Jeeze625]

Hey there,

Would anyone know the locations of 211, 200 and 4bk/202 Heath Street in Winson Green?

I'm really not sure if these houses would have been situated in 'the triangle' towards Dudley Road end, or further north of the street towards Tudor St/Winson St. I'd be looking for the period around the early 1900's.

Many thanks for your offerings,

Lee
