I don't think that it's the Holyhead Road either because there are no front gardens. You're right, it's not Cow Lane but you're looking for somewhere oldish, because of the lack of garden.

So I was going to post a question about one of the kids' sketches with clues about where it might be. However after a burst of random inspiration I worked out what the sign was meant to be. Amos Sad, turns out to be John Amos, saddler at 30 Cook Street. Roll eyes Although the sign could say 'Sold' because the next time I find Amos he's in West Orchard. I assumed that Against the Old.... might be Tower but it's not against the gatehouse or even the Old Tower Tavern. I think that the picture is actually of the entry to Chauntry Place but maybe it's the market? No wonder it's taking me years to work out where these pictures represent! Thanks go to Heathite or I'd never have got this far.

Just going back to the previous picture, is it definitely Coventry, could it possibly be Holyhead Road Birmingham?

Great idea Anne. I typed in Holyhead Road and milk cart and it looks like the picture is Wednesbury.
