pawn shop in Newtown row

[samurai]

Hi all
Does anybody know of a pawn shop on or around Newtown row? I can remember it as a child, it was run by a little old lady named Mrs Carter. Mom used to call her Etty (or Hetty). I went there either with my mom or nan around the early 1960's Any info would be really appreciated.

HI MIKE
I Beleive there was another pawnshop along on the brace briodge street coming off newtown row
there was a set of traffic lights out side the shopat a cross roads it could have been close to the main rd of aston rd north just short of costa green ;
and i know this particular shop was broken into a couple of times and how they came down throgh the sky light
and through the ceilings of the building and robbed it ; this would have been around the period of the slum clearance as the shop was isolated from any other building ; i think it would have been around the sixtys period or the seventy ;i can vizulized the shop now and the location but not quite the street name but it was in that vercinty may be you can check a list of the other nearest to it ;
best wishes astonian;;

Eddi Pete bought his first set of fishing rods from there. As he was only a child at the time he can not remember the person who owned it.

Hi all
Thanks for the help. Topsy, biddles was another pawn shop but not the one I'm thinking of. Astonian, the isolation of the shop rings a bell, but I'm not sure. I think mikejee may have it with the entry from Kelly's.
Thanks again for all your help
