Based on the census it should be in the area of Willow St, Curzon St etc on the north east side of the city centre.   

Just spotted it to the east of Curzon St, south of Willow St and north of Taylor St on 1888 map http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html  Willow St is still on modern maps

Edit Approximate location on modern map - Someone better at this than me will probably give you a direct link :)
