I believe that's still called High Street way past Dartmouth Square right up to the M5 Dave. Did Stan Willetts' have a shop in New Street as well, possibly his original premises? I used to buy horribly expensive transistors and resistors and stuff from them in the late 1960's. Couldn't afford their transformers so they had to be salvaged. There is a Stan Willetts electrical and hardware shop shown on the web in Queen's Square - lots of changes recently but may still be there. Martin |
Stan Willets had two shops in the Midlands, the one in West Bromwich and the one next to the Old Crown and Cushion in Perry Barr.
i bought my first CB from there in 1982, £49 for a Harvard 403, I was was about 14 back then, it was the start of my addiction to radio LOL.
There may have been more but they're the only two that I know of.
