Many memories are made up of the shops we visited as children and throughout our lives. However shops come and go so these pages are to develop to record some of these changes and perhaps to jog some memories. Please send me any information you may have about the shops in B43.

There are many local shops as well as the larger shopping centres so these pages will hopefull expand as more information is gathered.

There are also other buildings that play a part in the life of Great Barr, including the Libraries, Community Centres, Clubs, Post Offices, Telephone Buildings etc. Information on these will be added, linking from this page. Separate areas are provided for Schools and Public Houses and Churches
