What is this street?
« on: Monday 03 March 08 18:15 GMT (UK) »
I'd appreciate any input on reading these images.  I think the top of the first one and the next two images are all the same street.  Might it be Francis?

Thanks!

I read it as Francis Street and Aston Street too.  There is the connection with Birmingham too - Aston Villa.  Is Aston an area of B'ham?
