Lincoln Street Balsall Heath

[Shigs]

Hello!
I've been looking.. and looking.. for any old photos of Lincoln Street, Balsall Heath. My family lived at no53, which was between Balfour St and Edward Road in the 1930s, and on the 1911 census they were in Oxford Pl, Lincoln St - I can't find Oxford Place either.
If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful!

I have moved this post and retitled it. Oxford Place is marked in red on the map below

If you go to post 247 - 257 on https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/birmingham-1969-73.23229/page-13 you will see some shots of Lincoln st I took around 1970 just before they were demolished . Since writing that. I have had doubts a sto the numbering I have given to the houses on the west side, which would include those outside Oxford Place

Having said that about some doubts, I have re=examined the original photos and do believe numbering is correct, in particular that there was in c1969 Layla's cafe in a position which would make the entrance to oxford place where the arrow is on this enlarged version of one of he photos

There was a Birmingham company that specialised in selling Yank cars, Lincoln Street Motors. Same Lincoln Street?
