I think it’s actually Centre Row? Here it is in 1891.

I have found it on several old maps but can't find Central Row.

found this website that has links to several maps:

This is Pershore Street today. The only one in Britain apparently.

I need to go fabric shopping there one day

tbh the rag market was a bit of a let down. It's just before Smithfield fish market. [if that is the one I am thinking of] St Martins Church is just behind the Bull Ring and is a beautiful building.

Hi Carolyn,

I'm not sure I haven't found them living at the property on a census.. it's more for curiosities sake, this was 1904 and by 1907 both my grt grandparents were dead.

edit to say... Ahh I'll have a look thank you...

[cbcarolyn]

found a street list to say it is off Pershore Street, not found it on a map though!

[cbcarolyn]

there are old maps on here:

https://maps.nls.uk/

when did they live there? and can you give a few neighbouring streets from the census?

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know where 'Central Row' was in Birmingham UK at all please? [and yes I realise that it would probably be central in Birmingham city centre. :smilee: ]


just trying to pinpoint where my grt grandparents lived!

thanks for reading.
