Does anyone remember Overton’s bookies ? I vaguely remember them having several shops in Birmingham.
There’s an Arthur Overton who was President of the Racecourse Bookmakers’ Protection Society (Birmingham) in 1951. Would he have been a relation of the Overton bookies shops ?
There’s a 1960 photo of a shop for Arthur Overton, turf accountant in post #53 here. Is this the same Overton as the President of the Bookmakers Protection Society ? He died in 1954, so was this an old shop of his, or a successor ?
