Generations
Our great grandfather was a watchmaker in Pennsylvania during the late 1930's and early 40's. Forced to get another job because of the poor economy, he moved his family to Norfolk in the early 1940s to work at Barr's Jewelers on Granby Street. Our great uncle used to wind that sidewalk clock each day as a teenager. Later in the decade they opened their own store on Colley Avenue. Our father, uncle, and cousins all worked in this store during their teen years. In the 1960's a second family store was opened at Little Creek East in Norfolk which our family ran into the 2000's. |
