Description: | The Frumkin family are shown here standing outside their kosher wine and spirit shop at 162 Commercial Road (on the corner of Cannon Street Road). The family lived above the shop. The firm of L Frumkin and Co had a distinguished and colourful history. It was managed by 4 generations of the family for a hundred years. It was founded in 1894 by Aryeh Leib Frumkin (1845-1916), a rabbi from Lithuania, who had previously lived in Palestine. His contacts in the Holy Land were very useful in importing kosher wine, and the family also made their own cherry brandy and raisin wine. The baby in this photograph is Aaron Frumkin (1910-1998), who managed the shop from the age of 14 until 1997, by which time it had moved to Great Titchfield Street in the West End. Aaron finally retired at the age of 87, and the shop closed. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright. | Subjects: | work Communities | Temporal: | 1911-1914 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
