Brownhills High Street, outside the legendary Joe’s sweet shop. Looking at the fashions, I’d say early 80s. Anyone know anything about this?
I’ve been sent the above image by a reader who wishes to stay anonymous, and they’ve told me nothing about it whatsoever. I’d love to know more about it. Looking at the filename, I think it’s originated on Facebook.
A group of five lads outside Joe’s on the High Street (remember the legendary ice cream?) – note JC Lote’s jeweller behind, and behind that, Ashe and Nephew off-license. On the rear right, note the belcote of the Co-op store.
Looking at the drainpipe jeans, jackets and hair I’d say it’s early 80s. Definitely looking sharp…
I particularly like the dart board in the shop window. I forgot Joe’s sold toys and games too.
A fascinating thing. Anyone know any more? If you’re in this photo, please tell me about it…
