Description: | In the photograph there appear to be two horse-drawn dairy carts and a pushcart with small milk cans arranged around the edge of the cart. Presumably the cart belongs to the shop behind it. Palmer & Sons, Cowkeepers and Dairymen are of 156, High Street. Palmer & Sons is listed in the High Street in 1895, but not in the 1911 directory.
Walter Frederick Porter, Watchmaker, can be seen on the left of the image at 158 High Street.
W. A. Lidstone were located at 150-154 from about 1887 and in the years that they were at this address the business appeared to change in character several times. In 1887 they were described as bakers, in 1899 corn merchants and seedsmen and by 1911 they were bakers and confectioners. In 1926 they had returned to being corn merchants and in 1936 they described themselves as grocers, corn merchants and bakers, as well as luncheon and tea rooms. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | Palmer & Sons ; Walter Porter ; W & A Lidstone Shops ; | Temporal: | start=1900-01-01; end=1912-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Copy by Reg Harrison | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
