Title: Coleshill Remembered: Drakeford butcher's shop
Post by: rogerch on Monday 10 September 12 17:14 BST (UK)

Hi everyone!

I'm researching the Drakeford family of Coleshill and understand that there's a photo of their butcher's shop on page 72 of 'Coleshill Remembered: The Victorian and Edwardian Town' by Bruce Gascoigne and Colin Hayfield.

Is there anyone out there who has the book and would be willing to send me a scan of the photo?

Many thanks

Roger

There are many photos of Coleshill High Street shops, and many other road around the town, on the Windows on Warwickshire website.

It is worth a look, here is the link......
