hi mike
you are quite right to a degree but five ways down to wards calthorpes offices
by the plough and arrow hotel and with in a mile of the five ways hotel and that big hotel wherethe president stayed on the island and down and around to the botical gardens
and including five ways house years go was the main tax office for birmingham
and all there correspondences carried the name of the district as islington
and i am sure if you were to mooch around the area there is an ennamel sign that still
in place tells you the district of islington i am aware of the street sign that is
islington row and thats how it got its name from the district
its only a small area around five ways are that was classed as the district of islinton
