the alan godfrey map for the area is listed as 1913, but , on the map it says 1917, so probably additions were made to bring itm up to date. This shows 24-32 villa rd as empty ground, so obviously the area was cleared soon after the entry into the 1915 Kellys. I.m not usre if the site went all the way back - there could have been some buildings on terrace road that were also demolished, but it is quite a big site. The 1912 Kellys shows , in addition to Willows, the Birmingham Excelsior Permanent Money Society, and the Dennison Watch Case Co, so possibly it was several buildings on the. site. I will go back earlier to find more
