Blakes made Rolls Royces.
The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

Street directories should help.
Can't say I've heard of ANY car makers in the city centre.
Don't understand what WW means: "Blakes made Rolls-Royces".
Blakes sold cars, and were Ford dealers.
They are also listed as Motor Car Body Builders, but hardly in the same league as (for example) Hoopers.
Blakes were in Hardman Street and Bold Street.
(Wm Watson was the Rolls Dealer - just read that on Flickr).
It wasn't until after the war that Rolls starting building their own bodies.
Prior to that they just supplied the chassis.
There was a car manufacturer in the city. There was also one in West Derby but I cant find any information about them.
Interesting to note, a family friend of mine used to run a car showroom opposite the Bombed Out Church at the bottom of Hardman Street - it's now a Fried Chicken place. He still owns the building and says that the basement is big enough to drive in about 10 cars! I've been meaning to get a picture from him.
