My uncle was manager of Herbert Lees Drysalters,which was family run shop on Stratford road,Sparkbrook.The shop was situated on corner of Stratford road and either Kyotts Lake road or Braithwaite road,Sparkbrook. They also delivered cleaning and decorating products around the city.This was in the 1950s and early 1960s.Would visit the shop in 1950s on way home from school.Anyone please have any information about the shop and when ceased trading?
