My grandfather had a business in Loveday Street - I think in the 1930's - BH Pottier & Co at 51 to 63. Is that bit of Loveday Street still there? Any info gratefully received
I know it's quite a while since you posted this, but I was wondering if you knew anything about the firm your grandfather owned in Loveday Street. My aunt worked there for a number of years.My grandfather had a business in Loveday Street - I think in the 1930's - BH Pottier & Co at 51 to 63. Is that bit of Loveday Street still there?

Bob,Quite a significant picture, one of the GOE Daimlers carrying the rush hour only Perry Common 5 route indicator, but what was it doing in Loveday Street? Buses on that route were rarer than hens teeth, the other thing is, but I am ready to be corrected, the GOE buses were mostly allocated to Harborne in the beginning, we would only expect to see them at Court Lane carrying Portland Road 7, is there a date for this picture?

Pattier, thank you for this information. do you have anymore information on his gear cutting, taps & dies etc. I am a retired engineer and very interested in the processes he might have used.NannyPam
My apologies - I've only just seen your posting.
My grandfather was an engineer who did all sorts of things including experimental work, giving advice on inventions, drawings and model making. In addition he made nuts, bolts etc in all threads as well as cut gears, taps and dies, milling cutters, special tools, jigs and so on.

Thank you Ian...stay safe & healthy!Richard
Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry but I don't have anything more. My grandfather's son is still alive who may know but I can't really see him at the moment due to Covid.
I will let you know if I find out anything.

Thank you! I never thought about checking SA records!I suspect that it was an, old care home run by the Salvation army, in the day, and it later became a hospital under the NHS, in 1948, maybe The salvation Army records office may help you, in the day when poor, and old, there was only the "Work House", or Charities run mainly by Religious orders. Wish you luck, Regards Paul
