Rhymester 25 Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 My mum, Sylvia Chawner is top left. Anyone recognise a relative? Mum was born in 1929 so it's late 1940s but could be early 1950s? Andy Chawner 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Looking in Trade and Telephone Directories for that time, I can't see a Castle Embroidery Co, but there is a Castle Drapery Co who were on Houndsgate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

New Bridge Street is now buried under the currently-being-demolished Broad Marsh Centre. It was near the junction of Canal St/Carrington St. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
