Explains why their website fails to load then! I’m amazed that a city the size of Coventry doesn’t have at least a branch of LCEBerly Houghton is long gone:

I remember the original incarnation of Max Spielmann, not the same as it was in the late 1980s

I was sad when Beryl and her husband moved to Spain, she really knew her stuff, still a good shop afterwards, bought a bit of equipment from the Coventry store, and the one they had in Acocks green, small shops like these are pretty much history now, another great shop was Ron Parkes in Hall Green, spent most of my lunch hour in there when I was at Hall Green college.
