Description: | This is a photo of Lovegrove's premises taken in 1870 . By 1899 they are no longer listed in the Trade Directory as occupying this site.
The shop is a two storey timber building in the background which may have included living accommodation. The area in front of the building is filled with a variety of wooden furniture for external and internal use and there are about five people standing about. In the foreground there is a gentleman seated and wearing a top hat with two children at his side. He is possibly the proprietor.
In addition to the chairs there are also a number of planting pots and what appear to be fountains for purchase. To the left of the photo is a timber yard with an aproned assistant standing to one side. This site was almost on the same land as occupied by Woolworths in the early 1980s. | 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: | Lovegrove's Chair Manufactory Shops ; | Temporal: | start=1670-01-01; end=1870-12-31; | 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 |
