Stitcher, My mom's family also lived in Oakhill Crescent at no 17. Thanks to the 1939 register I've discovered an aunt and uncle that I had no idea of which was wonderful. Perhaps you may have known my Mom's family.
A photo of Witton Square when the 3X tram was in service there.
Lady P,oM, that's probably the picture I was thinking of. It looks as though there were 4 shops - greengrocers on the left (may have sold fish) and probably a grocers on the right. I presume there would have been a butchers too. The one at Stockland Green had the same selection with a chemists shop on the end. However, Pimpernel reckons there was a drapers and a bakery at Witton. Very interesting.
Do we know when this store opened?This one is at the junction of Court Oak Road and Wolverhampton Road West, Quinton, 25th February 1963.
