Bradmore, Wolverhampton
« on: Thursday 12 July 12 11:19 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help please? My Grandmother lived at 50 Trysull Road on the 1911 Census. The house numbers on the Gunmakers side of the road [as it is today] are 49 on the corner of Maple Road going down to the Gunmakers and the last house number is 61? Which are all ODD numbers.

So in theory 50 Trysull Road, should /would have been on the opposite side of the road. However the house numbers go from 46 on the corner of Wenlock Ave the side nearest Bradmore-- then coming down towards the mini island there is the Gunmakers car park which I am assuming is where the Old Gunmakers used to be? As the next house after the car park is 56!!! Which makes you think that 48-54 were knocked down at some point?

So were 48-54 along side the old Gunmakers and knocked down at the same time or were they built after & then subsequently knocked down?

As my Family were listed as living there in 1911 census it would mean that the demolition was after that date, to leave the car park as it is today?
Also does anyone have a photo of these cottages/houses to verify what happened

Any help would be appreciated

What's your grandmother's name/DOB? Was she the only occupant in 1911?

On the 1911, it seems to go 50, 51, 52 then Gunmakers Inn then into Maple Road which would put number 50 next door but one to the pub if the houses were numbered odd/even on opposite sides.

However, taking a look at the 1890 OS, it appears that all the houses are on the SE side of Trysull Road only the NW side is open fields - whether this was the case by 1911 I'm not sure.
