Interested to hear the importance of Anchorage Road - walked along there on Tuesday. There are still some very grand houses in different styles; noted a few 'Dutch' gables and some classic Edwardian era properties. The short history of Sutton Coldfield mentions one particular eminent resident having his stables in Anchorage Road and there are, indeed, still a few properties with high-gated garage-like entrances.
In 1824 there was also a Hannah Jackson occupying land owned by Samuel Smith. Other names associated with the fields on the site are: owners - Edward Croxall and Wriothesley Digby and occupiers - George Brown. Those are from the 1824 Corn Rent. In the 1856 valuation there is also Harriet Smith, 'Warden & Society', what looks like ? Hadhope and almost illegible M? Leader?.
