Lyn, the only Shufflebothams that I can remember was a motorcycle shop, I think that it was on the corner of Ladypool Road and Taunton Road. I wonder if they were related to the people in your lovely old photo?
 
The store on the corner of Woodbridge Rd was Shufflebothams. The Motorcycle store on the corner of Taunton Rd & Ladypool Rd was Shovelbottoms. I don't think therefore there was any family connection.

My Mother had a friend in Marsh Hill named Mrs. Shufflebotham. Her husband could have been related to the grocers.
 
I seem to remember Shufflebottoms being taken over by Arnolds Stores, who also had a shop on Hagley Rd
 
I did the Moseley Society's history walk on Saturday and they do have photos of Shufflebotham's inside and out (as a working grocer?) although they don't seem to have them on their website. I'm not sure I'd call Shufflebotham's a grocer from what I remember of the internal picture. They seem to deal a lot of stuff in packets.
 
I knew a Bob Shufflebotham don't know if he was a Brummie he doesn't have an accent, he was a writer and an amateur actor singer called himself Shuff. I will ask if he comes from Brum. Yes very ooh la posh Nan would say,. Love to be in a shop like that now.
