Gone, but not forgotten.

If by Shuffy's you mean that wonderful establishment of Shovelbottoms Ltd on The corner of Ladypool Rd and Taunton Rd, then you are correct. You are too good at these Balsall Heath ones (where did you live). I'll have to move to another district with my next try.

master brummie
Yes Phil M & J Fashions I think they were called, The assistant in the shop always addressed you as Chief, I guess I have just admitted that I bought stuff from there although not very often.
Dad used to call it the Teddy Boy Shop.
Further up from there was Tintern House where I first saw T shirts.
Do you remember Fisher's the junk shop on the corner of Ladypool Road and Runcorn Road.

I thought M&J was a wonderful shop, I have to admit the quality left a lot to be desired but what great gear.
A relative and I purchased an orange jeans and jean jacket combo from there in about 1960/61. To my knowledge these were the only clothes that ever got anybody sent home to change out of, at Dennis Rd SM School.
Darby,
I suppose you dad was happy if you shopped at Tony's at the other end of Ladypool Rd. (see photo)
I'll be honest I have no great recollection of the junk shop you mention even though I must have passed it twice a day for four years. It must have been next to the builders yard.

When the site in later years changed to a car sales, am I right in thinking this is where King Kong stood after his time in Manzoni Gardens in the city.
I know he eventually moved to Digbeth, but I seem to have a memory of him in Ladypool Rd next to the Brighton Hotel.
