I have an address from back in 1923 and would like some help please to locate where it is, all I have for the address is Lower Green, Coven, Brewood, Cannock. I don't know whether it was an area or possibly a farm.
Thanks

Looks like an area/street

Thanks, I have just had a look at that site, but then I can't find it on Google maps, do you know if it still exists.

Lower green was situated between "The Forge" and "Coven" on the 1861 Census

Thanks for that, so does Lower Green still exist or have new roads gone through it.

There is a photograph of Lower Green Cottages (dated 1900) on this site: www.staffspasttrack.org.uk
Just type 'Lower Green Coven' into search.

Here's those same cottages today (at the junction of Brewood Road/Cinder Hill). There were more cottages further along the Brewood Road that were also in the 'Lower Green' area.
You might find something of interest on these two pages of my website:
