Re: Althams ?
They were the first travel agent in the Uk in 1874
Althams Travel Services. A fully independent UK travel agent. so whatever was there before lasted 10 yrs. I suggest some sort of a shipping agent for emigrants/trade to the Empire |

Re: Althams ?
would have guessed summat similar meself margaret, but its a no.
they did after awhile start doing "trips" then became a travel agents, 1874 must have been the year they did, i actually asked in the shop if anyone knew, but none of em had a clue.
