Hi so my Grandfather John Norton owned the business until it ceased at some point in the mid 70s. He died in 1976. Likely to be as a result of the business having to move due to the new road and then not being as successful in Perry Barr. It certainly put a lot of stress on the family. Hope that helps. Its really great to see everyone’s pictures. Ive seen the site as it is today but all the pictures help me to imagine how it was. My mum can remember the pipe system for payment. Steve.Family still there late 1950s, I can recall my Mother talking about Mr Christopher. Maybe they sold put when it moved to Perry Barr.
