Coverage stretches from Roebuck Lane eastward to Booth Street.

version shows a more built-up scene, with many more terraced streets running south of the Holyhead Road. It includes extracts from a 1907 directory for Booth Street, Downing Street, Holyhead Road and Wattville Road, Handsworth. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series:Selected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century.
