OLD WEST BROMWICH PHOTOS

Can anyone please tell me the name of the shoe shop which

 was next door to the adelphi please.

Yes, I remember those shops, under the glass canopy.

Was it Blunts Shoe shop ?

There was also a sports goods shop along there, I think.  We had to go there to buy my hockey stick for school.

Don't know the name of the shoe shop, but the sports shop was called Dickens.

Dickens!!  Thanks, Bob, that's the one.

Those glass canopied shop fronts are much treasured in some towns, I wonder why West Brom didn't treasure theirs?

 The name of the shoe shop by the Adelphi was Wassalls.  Hope it helps!

Thankyou all very much, i was told it curtis, but that didnt ring true to me.

Wassalls Shoe Shop - I remember that one. I think i'm one of the few West Brom 'Baby boomers' who never went into the Adelphi - sad eh?

Same here Von !

I remember it going up in smoke though, It has got to be late 60s early 70s ?

Paul,

Adelphi burnt down late 1971 if I recall correctly.  I remember there was a Police Officer outside the shoe shop for a time to stop people looting the shoes!
