Abernethie & Son Ltd
I was very interested in your web site. William Abernethie, owner of Abernethie & Son Ltd 140-144 Uxbridge Road, was my Great great grandfather. He also had a branch at 25 Broadway, Ealing. It was a very successful drapery department store and celebrated 75 years of business from 1879-1954 with a commemorative catalogue. The shop finally closed in 1983.
In 1944 the West Ealing store was destroyed by a bomb, Killing Frederick Abernethie and 14 members of staff.
My other Great great grandfather was a tailor to the shops. His name was Abraham Macdonald and he lived at 23 Broomfield Road, Ealing - I believe it was the road opposite.
Your photos helped me to get a feel of what it must have been like in the 50s.
