Hmm, not sure but I don't think so.
There was also a branch in the Bull Ring and one on Smallbrook Ringway which was originally Lewis Separates, not sure if they became a Chelsea Girl.

@Vivienne14 What do you think?

No, I agree it's not the one in Union Street. It had a very different, two storey frontage onto the corner of Union Street/High Street.

I think you're right about Lewis Separates being taken over by Chelsea Girl. Initially I remember CG sold predominately separates (ie tops sweaters, blouses, skirts and trousers).

This was the Union Street/High Street store. The store in post #90 looks like it was in an older building judging by the, just visible, window frame position. And was there a Timpsons shoes across the road (as possibly reflected in the CG windows) ?
