Hi

Does anyone remember the shop on the corner of Talbot Street, Winson Green. It was run by my Great Great Grandmother. Think it sold a bit of everything, Would love to know if anyone had any stories about her or the shop.

Thanks
 
It was 92 Talbot Street the corner onto Lodge Road. On the 1911 census it has my Great Great Grandmother Sarah Giles a widower running the shop, she later remarried and became Sarah Smith.
Any photos of the shop would be great :) Thanks
 
She was there for a fair number of years early 1900,s till about 1945?

A thread about the brewery, which may have owned the cottages, I believe it was the Rising Sun.
There is a bit here about the Rising Sun but it is a little mixed up with a place of the same name in Heneage Street:

Rising Sun Pub in Heneage Street

Can the moderators delete this thread please, thanks!
