Hi old mowhawk. And mike
I do believe there was two iron mongers ,or hardware shops on within rd , there was one passed the Aston Hotel
Which was on the same side as Aston hotel going towards the train station , and the other one which was a huge one
Going back towards Trinity road on the oppersite. Side of the road as I recall going back passing the Aston hotel
And walking up witton rd , then cross over when you reached what I think it was jarndean rd which was the first corner you came to
And on that side of the road when crossed over it was a huge shop and all along the out side wall of the shop frontage
Was heavingly Chico block of variety of tools and machines a huge frontage
And this shop was there through to the early fifties,before closing down and it was taken over by a firm to do with fred waklin
Motor cyclist champion and there was a huge boarding and it was his picture of him on his Blake
And may I also had mike about nine years ago we did a thread on it and there was a picture of it with all there wares hanging out side
And along the walls of the shop the one that is showing is going towards the train station
Once you walked passed the Aston hotel there was an old large shoe shop just before you reach the old ICI main gates at within
Well that was facing that meaning the one you are showing , best wishes Astonian,,,,,
