Lichfield Terrace off Bolton Road

[happybrummie]

Can anyone help with a map showing Lichfield Terrace off Bolton Rd in Small Heath please.
My grandparents lived at number 7 from 1911 until about 1926. I know the row of terraced houses sat at right-angle to the (goods?) railway line but have been unable to find a map detailed enough to show Lichfield Terrace.
This is my first time using this forum so I'm hoping that I have posted this request in the correct place.

Hi Happybrummie,

Lichfield Terrace was the first terrace on the left of Bolton Rd as you entered from Golden Hillock Rd. This is the terrace with numbers so it's easy enough to work out where number 7 was.

Thank you so much - Where did you find this (I can't believe that even the house numbers are shown!) - I've looked at so many maps, but obviously not the correct ones.

I don't think there were any houses on that site before these. Certainly they seem to be the same in the late 1880s, and i think these were the first to be built there.

Not absolutely certain, but I think you mean up Golden Hillock Road. Anyway have done a fairly large arae, so should cover it. Map c 1950

Would number seven Cooksey road be on that map or is it at the other end of the road?

 

[mikejee]

Yes, no 7 cooksey road is right at the other end. It is in red on the map below

This photo taken from bordesley park rd bridge shows that junction.

In the picture is that Cooksey Road junction ahead in the middle distance, or immediately to the left of the man walking?

 

[mhemery]

Ahead in the middle distance, so no 7 should be in view.

Many thanks for the map and the picture, much appreciated.
