Replies: 41 114 Abbey Street Views: 5,876 Posted By Ravenshaw Re: 114 Abbey Street Thanks for letting me know about the shield. Although I don't think I'll be able to get over to see it I will ask a friend to pop in and photograph it for my project. I do see on the Accrington...

Replies: 41 114 Abbey Street Views: 5,876 Posted By Ravenshaw Re: 114 Abbey Street Thanks Jeff, it's good to put a date to the advert - can you get any closer than "the 1920s"? I am trying to find out when he became a photographer, and I know that in the 1911 census he was a...

Replies: 41 114 Abbey Street Views: 5,876 Posted By Ravenshaw Re: 114 Abbey Street Yes, I can see the buildings. Do you know what date the photo is - perhaps early 1900s?
