Hello Bob,
Stokes used to do all of Gittins repairs, decorating etc. I remember burning off the paint on the windows outside and painting it a Maroon colour, you must have been there then! We used to do the decorating etc at one of their houses as well. I remember going many times to the family house in Somerset road when they first bought it and years after. This must have been Gittins Son? I don't recall any old members of the Gittins family
When we were doing the offices inside as we kept telling the girls jokes and Mr Gittins told us off for distracting them
I seem to remember another premises of theirs in Aston I think?
