About
Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!
We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia .
We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details
The staff pose for a picture outside Pearks Stores on the corner of Edgbaston Street. The perfect Victorian urban scene, complete with cheeky children and a ruddy-cheeked policeman!
The Bullring now sits right on top of this site, which included H Fisher's fish and fruit shop.
Hint: Drag the orange pegman to see the Streetview image...

There's a lot of information on the Bull Ring available, but not a lot at all on Pearks Stores, although I believe that there were quite a few of them around the country. I think a lot of photos of them were taken, too. Perhaps we will try to gather some more....
