A trip down memory lane...
Beeston High Road in the 1920s. Beeston is a small town some three miles from Nottingham City Centre.
Fred Hallam Ltd back in the early years. In those days the shop sold rabbits as well as fish, fruit and vegetables. Pictured at the back is the original owner, Fred Hallam. His son, John, is in the foreground.
Busy days! Customers queue up outside Fred Hallam Ltd in 1941 at the height of the wartime rationing years. Note the old cinema next door to the shop which has since closed down. John is now in charge of the family business and his son Fred is born.
The shop as it looked in the 1970s. Note the board advertising mussels for just 24p per pound! John's son Fred now works in the shop and has had a son, Miles.
The shop as it looks today. Fred has now retired and the shop is run by Miles and his younger brother, Andrew, who was born in 1979. The other Hallam brother, James, is a journalist.
