Wayside Hopwood Birmingham

[jeanc]

Hi listers,

Hopefully some of you can help with my request. I have a birth that took place 1931. It gives an address of Wayside Hopwood Birmingham" I have no idea if Wayside would be a house name etc. or where Hopwood Birmingham is/was.

Thank you in advance for any help given.
Regards

You can see Hopwood on this map https://goo.gl/maps/Vv1mNhAHDLAiwvUq9
I would think Wayside is a house name.

Hi Stan,

Thank you, do you think that would indicate Wayside was a farm?

I thought that, but I have looked at the old maps and can't see the name anywhere.
