Description:Alfred Kilby's butcher's shop at 117 Great Colmore Street, decked out for Christmas. Although this was a butcher's shop for some years it only traded under Mr Kilby's name from 1895 to 1897, so the photograph can be dated quite precisely. The shop stood on the corner where Pigott Street and Irving Street joined Great Colmore Street, which accounts for the odd shape of the building and the street nameplate on the wall. Pigott Street and this end of Irving Street, as well as the shop, have vanished in the course of redevelopment.
