dargan I would say so on jimmy,s info and was,nt that where the allotments where
regards tommy
Yea, the allotments were there and a man called Mr. Steele had one and sold his produce from it in the 1940s or maybe even 50s (according to Mother). Judging by everything we know, Peggy's has to have been here somewhere. Advert's like this are a great source of information! Jim has hit on something there!
Why I'm ruling out the advert being for Fortwilliam Cash Stores -- a shop at the end of a terrace -- is that I can't see there being nearly 2 acres attached to it. But still you never know as it could have had a load of ground to the side, going up the Shore Road towards York Road. Tommy,
I think we need to conclude that it was Peggy's, and interestingly, that it may have had a different trading name by 1899. What a thing it would be to find out that name!!I'm getting a bit foggy again with it all as it presents so much of a challenge trying to figure it out. Looking forward to that highly intriguing image you have found. It could well blow ALL theories away.
