Merlin Garage, Haunch Lane, Kings Heath

[Moselej]

Hi all,

I am trying to find some old photos of the Melin Garage on Haunch Lane in Kings Heath which (next to the Tudor Cinema) was built in 1947 and owned by my Grandfather John "H" Skermer.

I have seen some photos on one of the posts on here however, it is not allowing me to access them for some reason.

I am also interested in what was there before the Merlin Garage was built, as my Dad, who is now 87 seems to think it was own by the Gideon family.

If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.

Thank you, that's the one and there is another photo showing the site prior to the Merlin being build there.

Hi Moselej

Since I was the one who posted the images on the site, why not see them here along with a couple of other related images.
