Farrs Butcher Shop

Gone but not forgotten. R.I.P.
Does anyone remember Farrs Butchers shop? It was located just a bit
beyond the intersection of Witton Road and Trinity Road. This would be
in the early l950's. I remember going there a few times with my friend Sandra whose father ran the shop.

I really can't say if my friends Father ran for office. It could be the same fellow because I wouldn't think there were too many butchers named Farr in Aston. Also, it might have been his brother. My friend lived in Erdington I remember so I don't think it would have been him.
 
On the Theme of Butchers does anybody remember Pitt the Butchers, at the end of Stechford road Bromford road, it was tucked away inn the corner, worked there as a Saturday job about 1973/ 1974

Hi, I know it was a long time ago since you posted this, but I have messaged you. Teddy Farr was my Dad's best friend, and his boss in the Butchery shops. I knew Sandra and Martin Farr, and went to their home many times in Streetly. Thanks. Gerry.
