Description:Samuel Graham must have been very successful as he doesn't list his address in this advert! The reference to his wares being sold at "town prices" clearly points to a growing trend for people to shop in the City Centre as the public transport infrastructure improved. Graham's shop was located next to the junction with Barker Street.

Advert taken from the Handsworth Church Bazaar of 1893.
