Does anyone have any information about a Corn & Seed Shop in Hartington Road, Lozells, during 1939, please? I'm just researching my family history and my great -uncle, Jim Barker, is shown as the proprietor of a corn and seed shop. They lived in 81 Hartington Road, Lozells so I'm assuming that's where the shop was.

There is a William James Barker listed in the 1939 Kellys as a corn & flour dealer at 81 Lozells Road. The numbers in Hartington road do not appear to go as high as 81, so possibly your address is wrong. The electoral roll (only some of which are inline) shows him there from 1935 till 1952. In 1939 he and Lilian Barker were listed there with John Henry bibb & Lilian Bibb
i think the corn shop is still there but its now alphas barbers shop

Thank you for your time in replying to this. It's very helpful.
I'll have a look at the Lozells Road thread but if you do come across any photos I'd appreciate it. Likewise, if I find them on the thread I'll let you know.
Thank you! I don't know what the shop looks like without seeing name so I'm not sure if it's these or not. It's a great document that you've done, though, love the photos.
I've had a good look through the Lozells Road thread and it was really interesting. Even spotted an article with a photo outside the picture house with my great-grandma in it! Unfortunately I couldn't see a picture of the corn and flour shop but I might have missed it.
That's wonderful! Thank you so much for taking the time to post this and reply. I must get my bottom over to Lozells Road to see what it looks like now. Many thanks!
