Hi Jean,I remember Mansells Transport,big blue vans.Bottom of Watery Lane by Lawley Street.In 1962 I was driving for Southalls in Alum Rock and Mansels did some contract work for us when we were so busy that our own vans could'nt cope with it all.Happy days.
Regards,Bryan.

I was engaged to the owners son when I was sweet sixteen. Mr Gibbons owned it and his close friend was a manager at Southalls. Went to Teneriffe on holiday many years ago and he [the son] had the apartment opposite. Small world. Jean.
