Kelly's for 1973/4 gives 88 as J. Gould Tailor. 90 as Sea Cavern, Fried Fish. Also 86 as Harper Harris Typewriter"dirs?" and Typewriter service. Maybe they were upstairs in an office?
As these posts are off topic perhaps they should be moved?

Hi caggyken,

The name rings a bell but, I can't say in all honesty that I know of any of their shops / locations, which immediately spring to mind, sorry mate.

I remember 3 Cooks in Lea Village, but not sure if it was a small company or part of one of the big ones.

In 1948, or maybe 49. I was luffed by my family to the Ideal Homes Exhibition at Bingley Hall. Having little interest if home furnishings at the age of 11 my interest was taken by a stand called Three Cooks. They had small samples of soup. I tried two different types but it was obvious my welcome would wear out for a third. :D The product was not in cans but a powder in a packet. I wonder if ladies here recall this product? I don't recall what else they had, but I the impression I got was that they were part of a much larger company.
 
My dad used to work at Baines bakery in the 60s and we lived in a bakery house in finch road lozells does anyone have photos would love to see where I lived as a child.
