I have a Greenwich Municipal Tenants Handbook of 1957 and there is an advert for 'Alpha Motors Ltd. St.Jude's Garage, Woolwich Road, Charlton, SE7. Also, the same telephone number is quoted in your entry. No number in Woolwich Road is given but I did wonder if Alpha Engineering took over the Troughton and Sims old factory. Obviously Alpha Motors took the site and kept some of the name and telephone number. That is all I know about them - I have nothing about 'Perseverance Works' or 'St.Jude's Garage'. It is possible there is an entry in the Greenwich Festival of Britain Guide book - about every business in Greenwich has an entry in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
