OLD WEST BROMWICH PHOTOS

trying to find the names of the shops at the bottom half of new st between chads fish shop and robinsons bakery can anyone help?

What I can remember, Porters fish shop, Dickens Sports Shop, a shoe shop under the canopy by the Adelphi, there was another shoe shop near chads and I can't think the name of it (?), a newsagents and a bit further up by robinsons was the photographers (What the hell was the name ?) and there was a garage opposite

Hi,

Was the photographer by any chance Darby's? Was where I had my wedding photos done.

Yvonne is right, it was Darby's the photographer and that other shoeshop was Walford Cashmores, Porters Fish Shop was about where that wreck of a shop is now, there were other shops under the canopy by the Adelphi but I can'tthink what they were....I was only a babbie !

Hi

I know Timpsons shoe shop was also down a bit Dickens Sport Shop

Hi all, Don't recognise some of the shoeshops quoted!  There was definitely Wassells shoeshop

under the canopy in the 50's but don't know when it closed.  I always had to go there for my shoes!

I think that was the one that was burnt down in the early 1970s along with the Adelphi Ballroom.
