Hi Mike, Wendy I am trying to find the Kellys directory that confirms Peacock Stores was at 142 Ladypool Road - can you help and do you know if they changed their location on Ladypool Road - I'm looking at the time of around 1958 - all help appreciated!Wendy
They seem to have had several shops, as shown in the Kellys entry for 1949:
Peacock's Stores Ltd. bazaar, 97 & 98 High st 5 (Midland 0761); 4 & 5 Phillips st 5; 361 to 365 Dudley rd 18 (Edgbaston 2156); 142 Ladypool rd 12 (Victoria
1357) 84 High st. Smethwick 41 (T N 0597); 196 & 198 Soho rd 21 (Northern 2636) & 236 to 238 Hawthorn rd. Erdington 23 & grocers, 77 Spring hill 18 (Central 28189) & 2 & 4 Conybere st 12. Calthorpe 2788
