Kidderminster: Binnington Lane Road?

[PaulStaffs]

Someone in my tree gave this as an address in 1959 but I can find no such road - does anyone with local knowledge have an idea where it might be (or have been)? I've tried searching for alternatives like Billington, Binningdon, Bennington etc with no joy.

Cheers

Paul.
EDIT: Found a Bluntington but no Bluntington Lane/Road

There is a Borrington Road on the eastern side of Kidderminster??

Thanks for the suggestion Kay but I don't think that's it... the highest house number on that road is nowhere near the number given

Have you thought of getting in touch with Kidderminster library as they should be able to help you

Unfortunately I don't have the address or e mail addy to hand but you will be able to find them on the net

All the very best

If the house number was high it must have been quite a long road.   I wonder if it could have been a badly written Birmingham Road

Have you perhaps tried locating a 1959 telephone book?  Or Gazette of some kind for Kidderminster?

Thanks all for the suggestions - here's the relevant part of the document so no mistaking what that says (whether or not it was misread, misheard or made up is another matter of course!).

Can't find a suitable candidate at the streetmapof link, I'll try some older maps/directories or local library when I get chance.

Cheers

Hi Paul

Tell you what I have some maps of Kiddy that are over 50 years old so will have a look at them to see what I can find & while I'm at it I'll also have a good look at the books I have on Kidderminster so wish me luck

All the very best

ps I cant say I've heard of Binnington Lane Rd., but it may have been the other end of town to where I lived & worked
