Hello, I'm trying to find the most possible information about him. My mother always said he had a very nice "chauffeur" called Baker who came to fetch her and took her back. With all I can find I'll write for my grand children. Thanks to Orion, perhaps ?? Regards Cecile
This is the department store Bon Marshe filmed from outside the post office, During the war, part of the store was taken over by the American forces and many a date was arranged, to meet under the clock on the far corner. I remember queueing most Saturdays outside to buy currant bread for a treat for Sunday tea, also nylons which were like gold dust. On the opposite side was the up market store Dentons.
This is a fine picture of The Oxbode, with the Bon Marché on the right and the old Boots frontage in Northgate Street at the end. Barton Street it is not.
