Is 62 Little Park still a street? I have a J robinson Butcher listed there in 1914?????

The nearest directories I can access are 1913 and 1915. Little Park is not listed in either.

May I ask where you read the name?

I was just about to say the same as Janice. Also that the same applied to those listed separately as Pork butchers

Thanks. As it is a Warwickshire directory it would include Coventry where we have estaished your relative worked even though he lived in Birmingham.
