I have found out (Kellys Directory of Birmingham) that my GGgrandad (Teall Robert Harvey) and GGgrandmother (Teall Lucy) ran a shop at 19 Highgate Street Warwickshire England from at least 1908 to 1921. I have been trying to locate a picture of Highgate Street in the early 1900's but as yet to no avail.
I have e-mailed archives.heritage at birmingham but the postcards/pictures they have are not indexed and it would require me to call in personnaly to do a search or maybe pay someone to do it for me! Unfortunately I live some distance away so for the time being cannot do a search myself, and my money situation at the moment does not allow me the extravagance of paying someone to search for me!
I have bought John Marks book of postcard pics of shops in Birmingham, and although very interesting, it does not have pics of Highgate Street.
I was wondering if anyone here might have or might be able to recommend a book or place that may have a picture of Highgate Street in the early to mid 1900's? A long shot I know but maybe just maybe there is one out there.
Thanks
Paul.
