Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire, Francis Road

proper brummie kid
I am doing some editing on the IWM War Memorial Register and was updating the record for the Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire War Memorial and noticed we had two records so removing one.
Their Temple moved around a bit and was in Francis Road until 1971 I believe. I would like to put the exact address in Francis Road so I wonder if anyone knows where it was? I have Postcode B16 8JE and approximate NGR of SP 053 861.
The ideal way would be a 10 digit NGR which can be easily got by using GRID REFERENCE FINDER

Not sure whether this was a separate building or not.
In 1968 and 1970 phone books this is the listing I can't check every year but still there layer in 1970s

Just checked and Duchess Road runs off Francis Road.

Thanks, yes they have moved around a bit.

It is of course possible that the secretary did not work at the location where they had their meetings and where the memorial was located. It is like when you look up the address of church, it is often either Parish Office or in a rural area, it can be the home of the local Minister.

I forgot the telephone directories, I often use to find military sites.

The only thing I would say is that it seems a large building on the map I posted.
