Yes. I can confirm that it was 353 Coventry Road. The name was Thomas G Whiles. Actually, his father Joseph Whiles, my great grandfather, had the tenancy of Blakesley Hall and my grandfather lived there as a child! I contacted Blakesley Hall some 15 years ago and had a conducted tour of the beautifully refurbished house with the Curator there. I was actually able to supply her with a photo of my great grandfather.
My grandfather had the shop (No 353) and house behind it on the corner of Chapman Road with Coventry Road from 1893 (about) to 1940 when the Luftwaffe bombed it. My father Rowland moved to 22 Chapman Road taking my then elderly grandfather with him. Later we moved to 19 Chapman Road, a better house!
I'd love to have a picture of any of these buildings... Thanks for the assistance and interest.
