The building vacated by Meeks The Furnishers
J W Meek shown in the entrance flooring.
Removal of the Shop Front nameboard shows left J A Floyd, and later Eva and Floyd, next door was W C Symons and Co. The shops were under one ownership in 1880 as Olver and Symons, Drapers. With more careful work and more searching it may be possible to add more information and names; but names before Olver and Symons were given as Coulson (Watchmaker and Draper), Clark (Draper). The date of the building appears to be 1835 or so. I will see what I can do ....
