Dunn's Fruit Shop, Birdcage Walk, Dudley- ARCHIVE
Does anyone know which line of Dunn's these were.
I think the shop was J L Dunn? I went to school with the son of the then owner, but that was a long time ago!
My grandmother always maintained that we were related to them somehow, and certainly some of the Dunn's we were related to had shops, mainly on the Flood St area, but that was many years before.

No dobs but the shop was there in the 1970s - 80s, and probably before but know little else - realise it's a bit of a long shot but someone may know?

Re: Dunn's Fruit Shop, Birdcage Walk, Dudley
Should have included this!
If there is a connection it will be through Elizabeth Dunn here:

Elizabeth was my grandmothers grandmother (ie 2x greats to me).

My grandmother also mentioned a 'Florrie' Dunn who had a shop in Flood Street. No idea who that would be.
