The first trip to the shop and some amazing research at the local library
September 7, 2013
It’s early Saturday morning and we are in the car on our way to see the Family shop and research the history at the local library…….
After a very long day in the area we find the following:
- The listings of the shop in the local directories
- The advertising in the local Directories, dating back to 1923
- Photos of the High Street in the 1930’s
We then visit the shop and High street – I found it so exciting to see the modern shop, knowing the history and that my Great Grandfather bought and built this in the 1920’s!
We now need to research the newspapers from the time….this will take a long time, but worth every hour spent on this amazing project 🙂
