Location High Park Smethwick

Looking to see if anyone knows where High Park in Smethwick is located.
Thomas Munro Andrews is listed as having been born there on 15 December 1847 to John Andrews mechinist and Ann Andrews nee Munro
Thanks for any help

Do you know if it is an area, a road or a housemate?

On the 1889 map there is a High Park Road in Smethwick. It appears to have been what is now Messenger Road. There is also a High Park Terrace listed.

Not sure what was there in 1847.

Saw that and today there is a High Park Close off Messenger Road.

Can't find an earlier map at the moment but 1888 map - the green line is soho Street which I assume became Soho Way

There is a terrace of houses called High Park Row. St Philips schools are still there.
