Letters, business poster, business card and a photo relating to Frank Brotherhood's occupation as a butcher and his move to Portslade in 1929 to work for A.C. Pearson.
Frank Albert Brotherhood (?1889-?1961) moved in 1929 from High Brooms, near Tunbridge Wells, Kent to 6, Shelldale Road in Portslade. He moved in order to take up a job offer with Mr Pearson, who was opening a butcher's shop in Boundary Road, Portslade. Mr Pearson also let a property to FAB which was part of a block of houses owned by Pearson. The remainder of Shelldale Road was council housing.
Pearson retired in around 1925 and sold the butcher's business to a man named Locke, who then didn't have a job for Frank Brotherhood. FB then found work in road construction. Later, when Pearson opened another shop, a corn merchant's selling animal feeds, he employed Frank Brotherhood again for a while until FB got another job as a butcher which lasted until his retirement.
