Hi everyone,
I have my ancestors the Harrison family listed as running the Sportsman Inn at 106 Willis Street in 1881.
Does anyone know if there is any information about this Inn and what Willis street is called now?

Many thanks

Chris

Thread 'Willis Street??'

Hi,
I need to track down the street name shown on this postcard. It is dated 5th Feb 1906 and my family at that time came from around Saltley, Aston and Nechells. Using other examples of his writing, Tom Caldicott seems to have addressed his card to his parents at either 4/97 Willes Street, or 4/9 Twilles Street, Ashted, Birmingham. None of the maps I've found show a street named anything like this - any ideas please?

Thank you so much. That’s wonderful that you found John Harrison listed there in the Kelly’s directory
Thank you
