Anyone remember Platts the tailors? I think the shop was close to High St. Maybe Dale End. Typical old tailors where everything ws made to measure, and remember going in there with my dad to get his suits. Also there used to be a wet fish shop, think that was in High St as well, as it sweeps round and goes up the hill towards Corporation St. Used to go in there after Birmingham City matches, where you could sit on a stool and eat jellied eels or cockles.
