Bomb in Spiceal Street?

T

TonyQ

proper brummie kid
We understand from family stories that a family business was bombed in Spiceal Street during WWII. I can't see anything online in newspapers at the time. Where else might I find any information about it, and particularly the compensation that is said to have been paid to the owners?
 
Often bomb damage wasn't reported for fear of "success" info getting to enemy ears.
What was the name of the business? The more info you provide the easier it makes for us to search.
 
British Newspaper Archives gives a possible from a search on "Spiceal Street" from 1/1/1939 to 31/12/1945 , & using "must include "bomb".


There is an advert for "N. Jones" ...late of 19- 20 Spiceal St....now at 7 Stephenson St. ....Bomb Salvage Sale.....from our bombed out premises in Birmingham, Liverpool & London".This is from Birmingham Mail, July 11th 1941. Stock is mens clothing.
