Hi I am originally from Birmingham and dont know of any Cats or Cafs Street, although it might have disappeared sometime ago. Perhaps it might be Cato Street. Thought I would just mention it. Hope to be going to Birmingham soon (having said that soon might be within a month or two - gardening taking priority at the moment). Anyway, if no luck send me a message and I will have a look next time I go to Birmingham. Regards Jan

Hi, I'm a brummie too. To my knowledge there is no cats or cafs street. There is a cato street in B7, sort of central bham city. There is also a cape street in Edgbaston, I think and a cape street over West Bromwich/Oldbury way. Mandy xx

Hi Angie, Cato St is in the district of Saltley in Birmingham, which is near Aston where my Grandfather was born and his certificate is registered in the sub district of Duddeston, Cato St runs onto Duddeston Mill Rd and by the Vauxhall and Duddestone railway station. Hope this helps. Helen
