Hi, I am trying to find out more about my Great Great Grandad's and Great Grandad's after him, shop in Birmingham. It was called Dale & Sons Ltd. Gentlemen's Outfitters Of Handsworth. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
There is a firm listed in Hockley hill, but I did not consider that to be handsworth
 
Yes, in addition to not being in what I would consider Handsworth, they are described variously as mainly some sort of drapers, not gents outfitters

It was 127 Soho Road, Handsworth. I posted on here a while ago about it, I wondered if I could find out any more. Someone did show me a photo but the shop was on the edge of it.

No mention of no 127 in 1900 edition.

1903-21 Crabtree Misses Helena & Edith M. ladies' & children's outfitters

1924 Dale, Robert, gents outfitter

1932-50 Dale, Robert, hosier

1955-68 Dale R.Ltd outfitters

Robert Dale was my Great Great Grandad.
 
Birmingham Post 1943, on the death of Robert Dale shows he has a further property at 290 Birmingham Road, Wilde Green.
