Pritchett Street

proper brummie kid
Hi everyone
I've not been long on this totally briliant site and have found information, maps and images of Cromwell Road
courts that housed my relatives of long ago. As I say, the site is massive and one (meaning me) can easily get lost
scrolling through photographs and reading members memories and I love it.
I have been searching for a map/image of court 10 off Pritchett Street. I havent found anything, maybe because
there is nothing here that meets the criteria.
My great grandmother was born in court 10 and also lived in a court back of 86 Long Acre. I am unable to read
the enumerators scrawl but think it might be 1 court.
Any help and/or guidance to find info on these two location would be great.
Thank you
Stuart
 
following on from mikes map have you tried putting long acre in the search box as we have 2 or 3 threads mentioning it so you could post your request on one of those so that we dont go off topic...hope this helps

Below is a map of part of Long acre. the red buildings are definitely the numbers given, and , from this, I am pretty sure the blue marked building is no 86. Will also post this on the Long Acre thread

Oh my goodness!! I just cannot believe the greatness of this forum. Just mentioned some addresses and lo and behold the answer
arrives so quickly. I can't thank you enough for the response and kindness. I am from Luton and a local historian of note and author of five books
dealing with aspects of the town's history and although Luton is miniscule by comparison to Birmingham it took me years to amass the knowledge which I have now. I will visit this site every day if just to read other peoples memories and anecdotes.
Brilliant........thank you.
