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.

Hi Julia, your cousin Anthony in Australia. I am building up a series of vignettes, notes and memories on my wobble and stagger through life! Most of my early part are now memories with some photos and records. I understand you have put together quite a lot in that period? Anything I can copy or view?
I remember so much of the shop.. The frightening cellar where much of the tripe, trotters, chicken things, black pudding ( horrible to see it made.. But I still love to eat it!) And Cheeney ( spelling?) even more frightening to me at 5 yrs old!
If we don’t put this together in a few decades it will be lost in my family
Any help appreciated
Anthony
