Jolly's Electrical, Hawthorn Road and other locations

When Jolly 's moved from Witton to Kingstanding they moved into the Hawthorn Road site that once was Taylor's electrical and music shop. A large shop made up of three units (when it was Taylors) . In more recent years, the site seems to have returned to its original smaller retail units.

It certainly wasn't a business that stood still. Seems to have had several (radio) branches

I remember them in Kingstanding. I think they were near a bus stop or I walked by to get to a bus stop. I thought they had service trucks?
 
One of the Jolly's I think it was Peter occasionally dropped into the Barton Arms on a Saturday lunchtime , the place where I worked used to supply Jolly's with white and brown goods also valves etc
