Re: Althams ?

Yerself was the first to get it, Althams was in fact a T-Shop when it opened up, the travel came later and ran in conjuction with the Tea, until the last century (can prove 1899) dont know when exactly they ceased trading loose tea, Panther was unlucky 4 hrs too late:D yerself gets the Karma.;)
