Mill Lane Digbeth

[Vivienne14]

This lantern slide is labelled as a “Court in Mill Lane”. It also has a label as shown below. But is it Mill Lane Digbeth ? Can we identify the buildings in the background ? Possibly c1890. Viv.

No chapels or sunday schools marked on the c1889 map, though that does not rule it out. Cannot see a Birmingham photographer marking something mill lane if not in birmingham

I found this other image of Broadbents and Mill Lane on the Digbeth thread posted by Stitcher, think it should be included here. Appears to be a Phyliss Nicklin original.
