  • This shop picture was taken in 1920. Although Jersey milk is on sale, it is not entirely clear whether it was taken in Jersey or New Jersey, but identification of a Cloverly sign and other elements suggest strongly that was taken in the American 'Jersey'

  • John Chevalier Bisson's fruit and veg shop at 3 Charing Cross in the late 19th century

We have not been able to identify the general stores in the photograph, which was probably taken around the turn of the 19th century. The sign above the shopfront appears to read 'All goods at town prices' which suggests that this is a country shop, but the telephone number - either 62 or 82 - with the wording 'P... Place' below, suggests a town shop. The number 62 was held by Randalls, of Minden Place, which ties in nicely with the large Randall's sign, but not with the 'P.... Place' wording, which has been confirmed by an enlarged and enhanced image. 82 was held by Down's Brothers in St Clement's Road, which is out of town but does not tie in with 'P Place' - so the location remains a mystery
