Map of Holdford Road, Handsworth.

[Racheal Kibble]

I wonder if somebody could me to find a map of Holdford Road, Handsworth.
Right at the bottom of Holdford road near Witton Road there were a group of houses, perhaps courts. Im specifically looking for a map that names these roads/courts.

From the 1930 Electoral Roll, they are likely called, Windsor place, Osborne Place and Ventnor place.

The 1930 Electroal Roll in question covers, London road, Gatling road, Holdford road, Railway road and  Witton Road-north side of Aston road and the Tame River.

I have checked the NLS sidebyside maps, and Oldmaps online but these streets dont seem to be named anywhere.

Thank you

This seems to be the rea you're looking for. Unfortunately the minor roads aren't named; taken from a 1900 map of the area.

Thanks all.
I think the ones at midland ancestors are what im looking for, but theyre not cheap at £5 each. None seem to show all three roads together either so i think the ones im looking for are slightly further apart than i thought.

Click on the side by side map & go to the left of Holdford rd.
& you will see London rd. on the other side of the track.
I'm not seeing a Gatling rd. anywhere but there is this:
Gatling Gun Co.
1888 The company purchased the Holdford Mill.
So it's around Holdford rd.
If you follow Holdford road North you will come to Holdford (aka Holford) Mill.
It doesn't look like Gatling road was formally adopted but was known by that name.
It can only be one of two, the lane running from Aldridge rd. to the Mill or the
extension of Holdford rd. which is the more likely.
