Cycle dealers Aberdeen Street Birmingham late c19th early c20th
« on: Sunday 14 January 24 16:37 GMT (UK) »
My friend has a family photo of a group of people outside a cycle dealers at 119 Aberdeen Street. Can anyone find such a trade being carried out at this address on either side of 1900?

1901 census shows 119 Aberdeen Street, Birmingham as a Grocers' Store - RG13/2853 folio 47 page 27 - George H Southall.

thank you. He was a greengrocer as well, it seems. No bikes though. I will see the photo tomorrow and may get a better idea of the date when I see it. 1911 occupant was an annealer of  German silver. Multiple occupancy 1921. Not a cycle dealer in sight...
