Hello! I don't know if there's an answer to this, but I've discovered a family member lived at Larches Street in the early 1950s, and worked as a Coke Charger at a gasworks. Does anyone know which gasworks this was likely to be? I know there were a few, and they all seem quite a way from Larches Street. Thank you.

This is a useful reference for all of the gas works in Birmingham.
The one located in Adderley Street was only 1.2 miles from Larches Street but it appears that it closed in 1940.
It would seem most likely to be Windsor Street or Saltley gas works which were operational until 1974, Windsor Street was used thereafter for storage of natural gas.
