Trying to find where Green Lane, Wolverhampton was, parish St Johns church, around about 1862.

Good Afternoon,
Green lane was on the boundary with St George's parish.If you stand at the crossing by the Library at Snow Hill and walk down the road right of Wilkinsons southwards it splits into two.On the right is Dudley Road and the left is Green Lane.It's quite a long street running out of Wolverhampton with the original site of the football ground along it.

Hi Ciderdrinker,
Would that road now be Birmingham Road, leading onto Thompson Avenue?
