[Phil]

Jean

I might be able to tell you if I knew where Latifs were. If you mean New Canal St way then the answer is no.

Are they still in that area, I havent been down that way for years.

What a ramshackle place it makes the greasy spoon look posh.
A guess Tyburn Rd.

 

[Phil]

No Ray not Tyburn Rd

Phil did the buses used to park up there

 

[Phil]

It's nowhere near Moor St, I don't think buses parked up there and the nearest so far has been Ray.

[Phil]

Not Gravelly Hill, Not Kingsbury Rd.

col h Bromford what or where?

Phil

 

[col h]

Somethings telling me by the Racecourse, but I'n not 100% sure where it was.

My guess is opposite where the Bromford pub is/ corner Drews La.

 

[Phil]

col h,

I'm going to give it to you because the answer I have is The Bromford Café Bromford Lane. I'm sure I have a memory of it where you say it was near the end of Drew Lane and close to Rawlings Brothers Transport. This is the unclipped and untouched photo.

[Astoness]

well done col...

 

[davidfowler]

Phil, I think the road on the left of the picture is Drews Lane and I remember the garage to the right of the cafe. It would be opposite the Bromford pub I suppose.

That is exactly where I think it was, and that looks like an old fuel pump to the right of the photo. I think I have a very hazy memory of this place from the early 60's. That car and those vans look like they date from the late 50's to the early 60's.
