correct margaret,the block was demolished n rebuilt as shops in 1924, wether it retained the name piccadilly then i am not sure? pre 1924 on the corner of piccadilly/dutton st was Henry Wormwell,a mill n general furnishings engineer, i presume Redmans n the like appeared in 1924.

Re: Piccadilly?

I notice that quite a lot of threads are duplicates of older discussions, and I have been here only 10 months.
I confess that I got the right answer from 3 minutes googling , though using our own search would have been quicker:o

I don't remember that previous thread. It's surprising what we have discussed on here.
