    Stele on Great King Street

    Stele on Great King Street

    Janice Thank you. I was hoping to catch a photographer that has a stock image that I could pay for, but the online images are quite poor with a low pixel rate so not suitable for publications; notwithstanding possible problems with copyright. I do thank you for your interest. All best wishes. P

    Lyn How interesting, Harry would have been 16 and about to join his father in business. They moved to 209 GKS in 1872. Small world. Where the Little King Street photographs taken by your family if they lived in the area? Best

    Bowler Lamps Little King Street

    Lyn Thank you, I had not gone back far enough. The photographs are a delight. I am writing a book about the Victorian days of the Tom Bowling Lamp Works, as seen in image 010. Harry Lucas's door having been bricked-up one has to assume post WW11, but not at all sure. The cast-iron letter box...
