And i forgot to add, the grocers by the old post office.. yes it was Jones, I had forgotten his surname till you said it tho, I always knew him as Frank... but Im guessing it was the son... that I knew, (with me being younger) he was a friend of my dads, and Frank Jones later had the fireplace yard in great brickiln street... and Im not sure, but he either lived in... trysul road, down at the bend between the cobblers and woodland road, he either lived in a house there or owned it and rented it out... i wonder what ever happenned to him..... lol

Having just viewed this thread and noticed the reference to accumulators, my paternal grandfather used to re-charge some kind of battery for people to use with their radio. I think they paid him for this service, which I remember from about 1947. Perhaps we should start a new thread to answer this query?

Thanks for that link Bob, it's cleared up a childhood mystery as to what my grandfather did in his spare time. He worked as a turbine driver at the Wolverhampton Power station, so I suppose he had some technical knowledge, and helped out both people who still didn't have electricity, and the family budget at the same time!
I suppose you wouldn't have any knowledge of a site describing phonographs would you? I inherited mine from this grandfather.
