I wonder if anyone has any information about my grandfather's garage on the Chester Road. He was Sidney Harold Oliver (born Sep 1893 in Balsall and died 4 Sep 1964 in Ward End). I think he was either a mechanic or pilot in WW1.
Sometime after WW1, in partnership with a Lawly Walsh, he set up the Walsh Oliver Garage. I don't know much more about the business, except that he had petrol pumps and a car dealership there, as well as a couple of bungalows. When Walsh died my grandfather bought out his interest and continued until he retired in the early 60s. I think he sold out then to the Clock Garage?
Any information or photos would be very much appreciated.
