Hi! My great grandparents (Alice and William Stevens) ran a café in the Jewellery Quarter in (I assume around the 1930s) and they had 3 children. Is there anywhere I could research this? I don't know the name or anything but wondered if there were any pictures anywhere? Thank you!

The coffee shop disappeared between the 1939 and 1940 directories. nothing is listed for no 3 , in 1940-1947, but in 1949 it is listed as a jewellery manufacturer. Probably missed out in war , and after for security purposes as was thought to be important to war effort
