Dudley Road

Hello everyone. I’m looking for 389 Dudley road. It comes up on my great grandfather census, he was a butcher by the name of William Watkins. I have one photo I suspect to be him but I’m wondering if there is any information or photo of 389 Dudley road 1900-1920
Thank you
 
He was only there for the first few years of the 1900s, as the directory of 1900 gives him there as a butcher, but the 1903 one has another name as butcher there.
 
further to mikes info above you will be pleased to know that the butchers shop building is still standing...its the one thats says blue phones above the shutters..click on todays st view below

There is no separate section in the business part to specifically include those that sell records, so cannot search that way. Have gone through the listing for Dudley Road for 1965, and no record shop is listed as such, though this does not mean that there is not one described under another description
 
My husband has a vague memory of record shop by the Grove cinema, and a shop called Green's also sold them late 1950's. Also one by Hawley's the dance instructors.
