Bill, how far back are you talking about, because as far back as I can remember Spicieal St ran uphill on the left from Edgbaston Street to Bell St after that it was High Street. On the other side of the street it was High Street down as far as Moor Street and all the rest was The Bull Ring.
If you have date I will try to find a map from that time, in the meantime this is a map of the 50's before the changes in the 60's. I think the only changes prior to that was the demolition of the Shambles which what the group of butchers shops that once stood in the bull ring were known as.
