I have found an old Ladywood Parish magazine from 1942 which has some old adverts inside. I thought you may find them interesting.
First ones are all in Mounument Road
E Joyce florist
Whitehouse Stores
H Fabery Footwear
J E Wild Tobacconist
Monument Road
W H Cox Butcher at number 142 Monument Road
This advert says 'What about your next Registration?' I am not sure what this means???
also
W Cox & Sons at number 141 Monument Road
I am not sure what they sell but they say 'Doing our best for you under trying circumstances' as this is 1942, I assume they are referring to the war.

During the war, for rationing you had to register for a particular grocer and butcher to use your coupons at. Presumably here he is suggesting that people change their registration to his shop.

lovely collection of ads there polly..just goes to show how many shops were around in those days....all we need now is for someone to see this thread and spot a shop that was owned by one of their rellies...thats what makes posting any pics so worth while...
thanks for taking the time to post them and keep em coming if you have any more..
Thanks Lyn, glad you like them. Like you I am hoping that someone might see them who has a connection with them. I know I was thrilled when I saw an old advert for a company that my dad used to work for.
The reason I have typed the names of the shops and roads above the adverts is if someone is searching the internet (or the forum search) for these names hopefully it will lead them here.
I do have some more so I will post them too.
