Birmingham trade directory look up
« on: Monday 16 June 14 13:57 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Does anyone have a trade directory for Birmingham between about 1925 and 1940?  My grandmother Alice Swain had either a milliner's shop or a hairdressing salon at 80 Warwick Rd, Sparkhill, and I would like to know which of these occupations it was. Thank you so much to anyone who can help.

Hi
Kelley's 1936 has her as a Mrs Alice Swain draper at that address
1937 and she's a ladies hairdresser.The same 1938 and 1939.
So it looks as though she was both.
