Hello List, Would anyone know whether Albert road in Aston Manor is still there. Also whether any of the houses have been demolished. Also thomas street as anyone heard of this and where was it located can not find it on old maps. Many thanks! San

Hi Albert Road runs between Birchfield Road and Aston Park. I can't visualise that particular street, but from what I can remember of nearby Witton Road a lot of old housing does remain. There is a Thomas Street running alongside the southern end of the Aston Expressway, just south of Park Lane.

Yes but now ends just short of Aston Expressway north of Park Circus. Thomas Street runs alongside the Aston Expressway about half mile south of Park Circus, according to my recent road map.

San On my 1923 map I can tell you that Albert Rd ran from Mansfield Rd (which was just down from Five Ways) across Witton Rd and down to Witton Lane running Parallel with Victoria Rd. Thomas St was near Aston Cross ran from Phillips St to Park Lane. Alot of theis area was demolished for the expressway but Thomas St runs alongside the Aston Expressway.
