    Perry Barr Shopping Precinct 1960-9, Lynton Sq

    It was small. But well stocked. We opened another shop at the Scott Arms in Great Barr but that didnt work out as most people went into Birmingham to buy records.

    Thats the saddest bit. I have none. We werent a camera family. Probably a good thing as i was a New Romantic it would be embarrassing now. Ive looked here for any photos of the front shops but alas none as well. Its like it never happened. You dont know what youve lost till its gone as they say.

    Yes. They offered us a shop in One Stop but after 5 years my brother had had enough. Compact disks were coming into fashion and the good old days of vinyl were going. Everybody came into the shop on their lunch break. It was a fantastic community. I really miss it.

    Yes it was right at the front opposite the flyover. To the left was the petshop, and finefare at the back. Small and bloody freezing in winter lol. No we only owned the one shop.

    Nobody mentions the butchers. Alan ran the butchers on the square as well. Pippo worked in Finefare and Zeta was the hairdresser in Finefare.
