Harlew Caravans Leaves Alum Rock


One of the longest-serving businesses on Alum Rock Road, Harlew Caravans, has left Alum Rock for new premises in Glebe Farm.

The owner, Kuldip Dhanjal, has been on Alum Rock Road since 1989. The business itself has been in the area since the 1940s, taking the name "Harlew" from its original owner, Harry Lewis. Also moving to Glebe Farm is Tony Austin, who has been working in the shop for nearly forty years.

The relocation is due to changes in the current lease, and the desire of the new landlords to maximize rental income having being purchased the property as part of the liquidation of the Norton Estate properties in the Alum Rock area over the last eighteen months.

The new address for Harlew Caravans is 33 Glebe Farm Road, Stechford, Birmingham, B33 9LY. Tel: 0121 785 2924 or the old number which still works: 0121 327 5369.
