Re: any old photos !!
Hi,
I have a unique relationship to these drapers. My husband's forbears were sentenced to 10 years transportation to Australia for stealing from this shop in 1844! The family name was Hargreaves and father (Henry), mother (Jane) and three sons - John, Howarth and Holden were all involved. Their booty included 60 yds of cloth, 18 pairs trousers, 162 waistcoats, 87 handkerchiefs, 7 wrappers, 1 cap, 18 yds braid and 6 pairs of socks. Quite a haul. What a shame that it is no longer there, as a photo could be added to our family history hall of (sh) fame. Marilyn, Brisbane Australia |
