Staffordshire / Re: Besom Yard, Brook Street - Wolverhampton

Hi,
My grandmother and family had to move to the Besom Yard, I'm presuming it would have been in the 20's, My great grandfather used to play the stock market and lost all the money so they had to move from a big house on Pipers Row to the Besom yard. I know my grandmother went to work as a seamstress and lost the end of one of her fingers in a sewing machine, as the eldest child she became the breadwinner for the family.
I've also been trying to research what this place was and will be following up on some of the links given, so thank you to those that have posted.
