Anyone have any knowledge about the above?  My dad was born there 1927. Wonder if any others may have a connection? Is the street still in existance?

The back to backs were pulled down years ago.

Yes I remember the old street. My mother left West Bromwich in 1945 and went to live in digs in Little London Place. From Chesterfield Road the house was midway down on the right and occupiers she lived with were Peggy and George North. Peggy, I remember was blind in one eye. My mother lived there before marrying my father in December 1946  not long after he returned from 4 years in Burma. They both worked at Hardy Patent Pick, my father was a forge shovel plater and my mother worked in the wood shop turning and preparing the wooden handles for the farm implements. Hardy Patent Pick was owned by a Mr. Jameson  before he sold it off to Laycock Engineering.
Going back to little London Place, they were terraced houses with ginnels leading into a yard with outside toilets to the back of the yard. I cannot remember them having any garden, though the may have. I was born in 1947 on Valley road in a similar style house which was two bedroomed therefore it is likely those on Little London Place were similar properties with just a sitting room and kitchen downstairs. My father was born in the same house on Valley Road in 1917.

 

I hope that is helpful.
