DAVIDW 1,674 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks for the link DaveN . Got a feeling that a lot of that Griffin and Spalding article was lifted from this very message board . Certainly 3 of the images appeared on here a few years ago : https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/4908-griffin-and-spalding/?page=2 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Good old NEP. Everything they publish is either lifted from somewhere else, or just downright wrong. Maybe we should put out some fake news and see how long it takes to appear there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,071 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 This is a very interesting topic to me, as my mum trained and worked at Griffins & Spalding making wedding dresses and vails. Now she was born in 1914 not sure of her age when she started work, but I have her letter of employment from Debenhams of London, so it seam's that it was in fact Debenhams when she worked their and not Griffin's. When walking down the large mahogany stair case I came across a large index book (which is there for people to look at) and it has names and history in all about the shop, and I thought about giving them mum's letter of employment. At the moment it's still with me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
