Comrade cycles (Dalaston 1950s-60s)

[Office Alan]

Have read stories of this company and do not recognise many of the comments made. I worked at Comrade Cycle Co. from 1976 to 1981. In the office. Directors John, Phillip, Linda Taylor + the two fathers..
They actually were based at Alma Street Darlaston before moving to The old Charles Clark Showrooms on the Darlaston/Wednesbury Road
The old site , last time I went by, had been sold and was a Mini Hotel ?.

Are you sure it wasn't the Darlston Road in Moscow with a name like Comrade ?

Used to know the Taylor family in my youth. John, Philip and their father Jack that ran the company

Used to know Jack Taylor who I think founded this company and managed it through the 60s. I think his sons John and Philip later got involved. Through them I got a Comrade, my first ever cycle

Comrade Cycles sounds like a cycle company that Corbyn might have started.
