Hi All,

Does anyone have any photos or info about a hardware shop my relative Elizabeth (Bessie) Cotton ran from possibly 1919 onwards until around WW2.

I know after that she was in London,in the 1939 register she's down as keeper of a hardware shop 510 Green Lane.

Yes I've looked on Google maps although it's not the old building,but I wondered if anyone remembered the shop or had old photos showing it.
