Florist in Lozells 1955 - 1962

Hi,
I am trying to trace the florist shop my mom ran a few years before 1962. We think it was in Lozels, possibly not far from the Lucas factory. Moms name was Marion Hale, married to Dennis Hale.
We think the shop might have had "posy" or "posies" in the name. But that might be a complete red herring!
I think I have been all through the Lozels photos looking for any florists in the background, so I wondered if anyone had any clues.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
 
There was a Posy Bowl florist in Wheeler Street in 1960 phone book.
I don't know the area well so not sure if this is a possible or not.
 
hi chris ...it could be worth going through the wheeler st thread as the lucas factory was at the bottom of wheeler st..link below unless you have already done so

Thread 'Wheeler Street Lozells'

just wondering if anyone remembers charlie blower from wheeler street, he had a motor bike shop, a little fat man with a round happy face, i remember my dad telling me he was a dare devil rider and once broke his back or neck in a stunt he did, but still continued saying the show goes on, does anyone know if this story is true or not.
