  4. Street Plan

    Hi all,
    I am looking to obtain via email if possible, a detailed street plan of Birmingham city centre particularly including the Gun Quarter from the 1800's.
    I am aware that the Cenral Library has some basic street plans,but I need them to be concise, as a modern day A-Z.
    Any help?
    Thanks.
    Regards ,Scrawper
