Title: Where is Sunny Bank, Dudley Road
Post by: cordley on Sunday 19 October 25 15:59 BST (UK)

I have an old postcard, posted in 1905, which is addressed to my grandmother

c/o Bk 122 Sunny Bank
Dudley Road
Birmingham.

Is this one of the old Back-to-backs of Birmingham?  Or can anyone identify its location in 1905?

I guess she was either a lodger, servant, friend of the householder.  Any ideas??

Thanks

Pam

This is the first OS edition with house numbers, 1956.  It shows several houses SE of the Birmingham Canal bridge, divided with a second number at the back.  Sunny Bank was probably the terrace name.
