Summer Street Birmingham, where was it?
« on: Wednesday 21 April 21 19:19 BST (UK) »
Please show me where SUMMER STREET was, in central Birmingham (St Philips parish I think)?

Not Summer Lane, not New Summer Street - I'm after the 'Summer Street' which appears on the 1871 census.

And there was definitely a pub at 1 or 2 Summer Street B'ham, what was it called?
Are there any old photos of this Street?

Many thanks.

The pub at No 1 Summer Street in 1870 was the Swan, landlord William Hodges (from Birmingham Daily Gazette, 20 Oct 1870)

Excellent! Thank you.
Do we have a 19th century map showing where the street was?
It ought to be somewhere near Navigation Street (but I'm only guessing).

I am so happy to have this!
Couldn't spot it myself. It's right next to the railway tracks, you've solved a puzzle.
Thank you, really grateful.
