Hiya Brummie I KNOW that speaking stiles walk is on one of Peter Walkers maps..so I am sure he will help you when he is online:)
I think It was Holloway Head but Peter will confirm this

Speakingstile Walk ran from Holloway Head to Irving Street. I suppose the district then would have been Edgbaston then, later it would become Lee Bank.

If it is of interest to you this pub The Unicorn used to stand on the corner of Speaking Stile Walk until the area was revamped.
