Mick Phelan ran a small car repair garage in Hall Road, Handsworth in the 1970s, which he rented from my late father.

Mick is now retired and lives in Fethard in Co.Tipperary in Ireland.

Before he rented the garage a man called Micky Playdon who emigrated to New Zealand also ran a similar business there for about 3 years.

Thanks to Pat Kiely for the picture.
