According to a post on the Birmingham Forum it was connected to Cambridge Street if that's any help?

Actually, considering the width of it it, I think this was St Martins Place, which ran into St Martins Row

From Your photo it looks like it would have been opposite this row of shops on Broad St.

Except, as you can see from the 1950s map, St Martins Row changes to St Martin's Place where it narrows , an the photo is definitely narrow, pedestrians only

Don't know the date of this map (posted by the late Dennis Williams in the "Passageways .." thread), but St Martin's Row isn't marked, only St Martin's Place is marked, (although there is the narrow section leading from it)

Dennis Willians posted a few photos taken from where the 'row' joins Broad Street, the row being to the right of the Antiques shop. (Bought a few pieces of furniture from there when stripped pine was all the rage).




This photo below was posted by Postie on the St Peters Row thread, showing a bit more of the view along St Martin's Row from the Briad Street end looking towards St Peters spire (right of the antique shop).
