From Staffordshire Past Track, roadworks in Tamworth Street. Amy Palmer’s dress shop is on the left. If I’m viewing it right, that’s now the (closed) Julian Graves store opposite the Corn Exchange. Image from Staffordshire Past Track.
Amy Palmer seems to have been quite notable in Ye Olde City in the 1930s, at least. I think her store stood on the corner of Tamworth Street and Conduit Street, where the empty former Julian Graves store is today.
The only thing I could immediately locate was the image above, from Staffordshire Past Track, and the clipping below, from the Lichfield Mercury of Friday, 8th July 1932.
I’d love to know more about her. It looks more like an Emporium that a mere shop…
Lichfield Mercury, 8th July 1932. Such choice! Of course, back then, Walsall and Lichfield were only minutes apart by train for the conscientious bargain hunter with a few bob to spare…
