thanks Jefff

not that photograph of the Whittle shop I was referring to..... we have one with William George Whittle himself stood in the doorway (although we have recently found the one you mention and the very old one with the Victorian-looking children

we knew that W.G. (George) Whittle had the shop during WWII but we weren't sure when he took over running it. it now appears that was the eleventh day of September 1915 (as above)

unfortunately George died in 1942

we have a huge pile of family papers and documents to go through so we might find out when his wife finally gave up the shop

if anyone knows who had the shop after the Whittles and at what time.... that would be great :-)
