Description: | Fairheads, Cranbrook Road, Ilford, 1957. Ties and scarves.
The main shopping street for Ilford from the early 20th century until the town centre redevelopment in the 1980's, was Cranbrook Road. The housing estates developed from 1890-1914 on the surrounding land provided the customers for a wide range of shops including the drapers, Fairheads. The shop, which has traded for 100 years catering for a discerning clientele, closed in December 2008. A branch of Fairheads called Dunhams, in Wanstead, used an overhead mechanical cash-handling system in the form of a small railway. Part of this mechanism is now in the Redbridge Museum Collection. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Redbridge Local Studies and Archives | Rights holder: | Redbridge Local Studies | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | 1957 | Source: | Redbridge Local Studies | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
