Hi, William C Bourne was a tailor who lived and worked for much of his life in Longton. I am told he was a very smart man, always dressed in a smart suit and bowler hat, he was however under 5 feet tall.
He was a well know character apparently in the area, regularly seen walking or even marching down anchor road onto market street on his way to work. I understand that the family, including the wider family were big church people many linked to St Michaels in Dresden. Below is a link to a photo of the shop where he worked as a tailor, now called Alderley Property.
