A family member recalls a relative, probably having the surname Partridge, having a shop in Washwood Heath Road in the 1960s or thereabouts. Can anybody recall any details, please, or provide a photo? Thanks.
There's William and Audrey Partridge listed at 624 Washwood Heath Road on the 1957 and 1960 ERs. They buildings there have always been shops as far as I can remember.
It appears to be next to the newsagent that my nan used but I can't remember what it was and that was late 70s as well.
William appears to be a William Charles Partridge (1927 - 1991) son of Frederick Partridge and Elsie Edwards. They lived at 4 back 64 Alum Rock Road from at least the late 30s to the 50s and Wolesley St in 1921.
Frederick Partridge (1898 - 1955?) was the son of Charles Partridge and Elizabeth Barber. They lived at 3 back 4 Lower Fazeley St in 1891 and Pickford St in 1901.
