Thanks for interactive map. Tried it and it works. Does Leroux have the same for other areas? I tried leroux.co.uk and just get a blank page.Available on Etsy

Thanks for your interest in the map, unfortunately I have only covered the Aston area and still have many streets in Aston to add, would love to cover the whole of Birmingham but it would be a mammoth task and beyond my computer skills I think.Thanks for interactive map.

If you can tell me how it's done, I'll take a stab at doing some.Thanks for your interest in the map, unfortunately I have only covered the Aston area and still have many streets in Aston to add, would love to cover the whole of Birmingham but it would be a mammoth task and beyond my computer skills I think.
I do not remember that shop, the one I do remember was the one near the Bull Ring. It seems we would go 5here every Saturday in the ‘50s. To the market and flower ladies (a friend of my mom). BTW they lived VERY well. And they is I was good to Woolworths. They always had lots of seasonal stuff decorated with cellophane and plastic do dads.With Easter approaching, I've been reminded of the giant Easter egg that was raffled at the Kingstanding (Hawthorn Road) shop in the 1960s. It was decorated with pastel coloured flowers and twirls, and wrapped in masses of cellophane. Used to be perched high up on a shelf above the counter (the stand-alone counters in the middle of the shop - not against the wall). Alongside it would be smaller versions of the large egg. Wonder who made these eggs?
