This street is recorded as Old End in 1890 map, although this whole area was known as Old End in 1841 census and before (Barton Street and Richard St. S). The higgledy-piggledy nature of street arrangement still exists in Barton Street and crooked alignment of Richard St. S., reflecting the haphazard development on the edge (end) of West Bromwich Heath which was enclosed in 1841. Many of these older properties (early to mid 19th Century) were demolished in the early 1920's.
Another such End is Lambert's End. '
