My dad remembers my great grandad being there in the 1950s. That's all I have sorry.Are you able to give us an idea of dates?
It was 127 Soho Road, Handsworth. I posted on here a while ago about it, I wondered if I could find out any more. Someone did show me a photo but the shop was on the edge of it.any idea of where it was in handsworth.. ie soho road etc
