High Street Erdington
- Thread starter gingerjon
- Start date
I've just revisited the auctioneers advert for the cottages in post #421 and it says "twenty 2 storey cottages known as 'Easy Row' " A second look at the way it's presented in the advert certainly looks like it's quoting the name of the cottages and not the name of a road.
On reading the ad, I still had in mind that the cottages were behind the High Street for some reason. A bit slow on the uptake on this one !

Yes Lyn, all makes sense now.
In post #405 was Rymond the butcher and Mullis the tobacconist listed as being part of the ER terrace of cottages ?

No.
They came after the 21 Easy Row Cottages.
So that confirms the "Easy Row" terrace consisted of #115-153 only. Thanks Janice and Pedro.

Shall create a separate thread about the family.
Edit, there's now a thread about the Machin family under the Surname Interests section. Link below.

There is still a sign saying "High Street" on the alterations shop at the top of Station Road.

If you look above "Stop & Stich" on the corner near Station Road, you will see it still has a sign saying "High Street"

I'm moving or copying relevant posts about Erdington in the 18th and 19th centuries to a new thread. If any further points arise on the new thread which add to our understanding of Erdington High Street I shall copy them to this High Street thread. Link to the new thread is below:

These ladies were queuing for 'nylons' (stockings) in the 1950s. But where on High Street and at which Leicester company's shop/outlet ? Could it have been an outlet for Wolselys knitwear/socks/stockings ? There's a 'School' sign in view. Maybe it was near the old Board School on the High Street ?
