Brummie a long time ago

Thanks for that photo. That shop is a big part of my childhood. Phyllis Nicklin will have been standing at the end of Barn Street. I used to go there and get a frozen Jubbly. When I was old enough I was allowed to go on my own. To stay on topic, the connection with milk is that I also used to go there to get to get a bottle of Camp Coffee for Dad, who then made a cup of coffee with milk in it.Question: does Milk Street have any connection with milk ? How did it get it’s name ? In the past was it dairy grazing land ? Was it traditionally where milk was processed ? Was it a dairy farming area perhaps ?
Phyllis Nicklin photographed it in mid-1953 showing the junction with Little Ann Street (left) but she left no clues about its history. There seems to be little written about it. Viv.
