Yardley Green, Stechford

Hi! I am from the US so don’t know the area well but am researching the history of the first manufacturer of photographic negatives, Dr. Richard Hill Norris. He had a factory first in Birmingham on Litchfield Road. But later in 1880 he built a facility in Stechford. Advertisements state that it was at Yardley Green in on a parcel of approximately two acres near the Yardley Arms Hotel off Yardley Fields Road. I am looking for any images from the late 1880’s that might show this road or the hotel. I would love to know where this factory might have stood and what it looked like. I have looked, even visiting the Birmingham library, but haven’t found much. Thanks for your help!
