Lawley Street

nice one of lawley st from vaughan st.

I know this was posted six years ago, and I like the photograph. But where is Vaughan Street? I've searched maps dating back to 1889 and I can find no trace of a Vaughan Street in the area, or, indeed, in Birmingham. I've found Vaughan Streets in Willenhall, Coalville, Llandudno and in the USA. Has anyone got any further thoughts on where it may be?

This is the bridge that my father got stuck under when he was driving a lorry loaded with cars in crates that we stacked wrong. In order to get the lorry out, they had to let the air out of the tires.

Hi all can anyone confirm that the small arches to the right on picture #32 used to house the large horses used by the railway to deliver goods around Brum I can recall my grandfather who was a railway delivery driver taking me somewhere around there to see those huge horses in there stables but it was 80 years ago so I could be wrong. Many thanks. Acklam19.
