Re: Identifying road junction?

Short of a visit to Birmingham Reference Library (long trips), we're

The three roads you named center around the M6 so the junction could
possibly have been subsumed when that was developed

You could try matching it with an image on http://www.geograph.org.uk/ but
that would be pot luck.

You could post a link to a copy of the image so that any Brums in the group
(I don't think anyone has ever admitted to being one but there could be some
lurking) could look and see if they recognise anything.

BTW, more generally, is there any online source of census transcripts
including the *address* data? That would presumably be a possible
worthwhile approach in cases like this?
