I am one of many grandchildren of Frank Lawton, who started a business in 1906 of cooked meats and pork pies etc.
This shop was 1833 Pershore Road, Cotteridge.
In 1956 they celebrated its jubilee. The business continued into the early 60s.
I am very anxious to know if anyone has pictures of the shop, as I am in the process of writing about this.
You may even remember the van driven by Harold – pale green with a cream egg shape sign on the sides of the van with writing about Lawton cooked meats.
