Think Tank area

[brum baby]

Does anyone have any 19th and early 20th century maps of the area where the Think Tank now stands. My ancestors lived in Fox Street, Cardigan Street and Nova Scotia Street plus other addresses in this area. I have visited the area but very little remains of any houses and I would like to plot where they moved

if you go to https://www.british-history.ac.uk/m...d=10098&ox=3588&oy=471&zm=1&czm=1&x=350&y=305 this gives the 1890 OS amp with cardigan st at the centre. you can move round by clicking on the edge of the map to re-centre

The following link leads to old maps, a retail site but in free to view form can give good result of OS maps late 1800s to mid 1900s.I often use it with mixed results. I find it works best on Internet Explorer using the page /image magnifiers.

Thanks Ray my families did not move around very much in the later part of the 19th century. Shame most of it is now gone
