Carless Street formerly Oxford Street was renamed in 1923 to the memory of John Henry Carless, awarded a posthumous VC for gallantry in action at sea on 17th November 1917

The date is wrong on Carless's death. It should be 1917 and the Council are promising to replace it. - http://www.walsalladvertiser.co.uk/Mark-s-sad-council-careless-war-hero-Carless/story-20617140-detail/story.html
