The cafe was at 533 Lichfield Road. In 1936 and 1937 they were advertising for a live-in girl or young woman in the local press as far afield as Sheffield and Derbyshire. In the 1939 Register the proprietor was Charles W Phillips.Park Cafe on Lichfield Road in 1935. A few ghost signs visible. And looks like a B&B. Viv.
