Doseley Road

From 1921 to the 1950's the Cosy Cinema stood on the right, now a carpark.

The shop on the left was number 9 & 10 Burton Street.

At number 1 Doseley Road, in the 1930’s and 40’s there was a Miss Maud Allworth confectioner.

I have been told that at some time a Mr Frank Williams repaired clocks from number 1 and his nick name was “tick tock”

Number 2 Doseley Road, in 1929 Noah Bray was a fried fish dealer but from 1934 to 1941 Mrs Maggie Bray was the fried fish dealer, I’m not sure if they are related.

At some time, numbers 1 & 2 was knocked in to one and Dabbs Brothers ran a bookmaker from there.

Looking back towards Blewshill and the Rough Ground in the distance.

This is taken from almost the same position as the one above but some years later, the large shed and gas lamp have gone, it is now the site of St Paul's Catholic Church.

These houses were demolished and the Dawley doctors medical practice was built before moving back to King Street, now a children’s play area.
