Guest mick2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi, I was wondering if any kind soul had a trade directory for High Green from around 1901? If so is anyone listed as a boot and shoe maker? Their shop was just up from another shop owned by an 'A. Bostwick', but alas I don't what that shop sold. Many Thanks.

Guest Richard_Fox Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I found an Alfred Bostwick listed as a book seller and newsagent in Mortomley, High Green from White's 1901 directory. Didn't have an address listed though, but searching Sheffield Records Online brought up Alfred Bostwick in the same place in 1893 along with 2 people listed as boot/shoe makers in Mortomley: John Turner - Shoe Maker - Mortomley, Chapeltown Edward James Worthy - Boot & Shoe Maker - Mortomley, Chapeltown Can't find John Turner in the 1901 directory, but there is a listing for "Wynne & Worthy, boot & c.dealers, Blackburn; & Chapeltown" - Possibly Edward James Worthy? Hope that helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
