I had added this link to Joseph Priestly, but perhaps it might be more useful in this article? I realise that the article already gives images of the house, but this webpage, from an excellent site on the History of Birminhgam Places and Placenames, describes where Fair Hill was and gives a Google map of the streets mentioned:

• Sparkbrook, Spark Green showing the locality of Fair Hill today and at the time of the riots.

Hope it's of intetest anyway. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:55, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But doea anyone know exactly where the commemorative plaque is? Martinevans123 (talk) 08:35, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is on the side of the house at 10 Priestley Road. See Google Street View http://goo.gl/maps/BN7U4 -- Picapica (talk) 14:00, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. I'm surprised it hasn't fallen off after three years! Martinevans123 (talk) 14:08, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
