My Willetts relatives lived on Pear Tree Lane forever! I was wondering f anyone would have photos of it in the late 1800's to early1900's. They resided between #22 and #25. Also I would love it if someone could describe it for me as I have no photos of it!
Thanks so much, Lisa
Have you been on this site Lisa
http://blackcountryhistory.org/
lots of info and photos
if you put in the search
Back Yard, Cradley Heath
you get this .....it has a photo of
Ref No: p/1958
Date: c1928
Description:
The rears of Nos. 21 to 25, Pear Tree Street (now Peartree Lane). The buildings to the left would have probably been wash-houses as there is a mangle to the right of the alleyway. The barrel and the modern dustbin would most likely have served as refuse holders. Only a small portion of the yard has been paved.
and there is a photo
this should be available to order from Dudley archives depending on copyright
but they will be able to let you know that if you email them
and any costs
