From at least 1855 to 1862 Robert lodge had an establishment, grocer and tea dealer at 59. Broad st (corner Bishopsgate st) He lived at 15 duchess road.
In 1873 he was described as tea dealer and italian warehouseman at 120 Broad st, and lived at The Hollies, court oak rd, harborne.At the same time Robert Lee Lodge (Son ?) was a tea & coffee merchant at 110 Broad st. (corner of st martins st). He also lived at the Hollies .
By 1876 only Robert Lee is around at 168-9 broad st (street has been renumbered and this is still on corner of st martins.).
In 1876 He still lives in Court oak rd.
In 1880 He still lives in court oak rd, but J.L. Lodge (Son ?) is also listed there.
