Dares the Builders

Hi vivienne14 this is a great post for me as the photo of the pair of houses in the advert is of 555 Shirley road which I owned in the 1980s.I completely gutted the place including all the Windows which I replaced in cottage style including Bullions, l then rendered all the exterior and built the porch that is still there I see.these houses were really well built and gave very little in the way of problems. Regards Acklam19.

Two roads in Yardley appear to have been named after members of the Dare family.

Patrick Road & Vera Road in Yardley, Birmingham

There are two adjoining roads in Yardley named Patrick Road & Vera Road. Does anyone know who Patrick & Vera actually were & what they did that was significant enough for them to have roads named after them? Thank you.

It's nice to see the Dare legacy still is remembered a few blanks that can be filled they built Minster Court Church road a spacious block of flats three stories high in Moseley Birmingham, There were of course a lot of other projects they completed I will see if I still have the records my late mother left Harry Dare the father to Patrick and David.
Patrick so is rumoured had a argument with his father and brother and went to South Africa with the intent of starting over there as a builder for the white south Africans but squandered some of the family fortune.
Harry Dare personal Secretary was Dorothy Black and David who was married to his first wife Wendy his personal Secretary was Hilary James formerly Jakeman. David had two sons by his first wife Paul and Guy where they resided at Coultard Grange out side Stratford on Avon.
