I seem to remember that one of the renovated "Back-to-Backs" in Hurst St. was once occupied by a tailor? I can't find my book at the moment.

Thanks lyn. I must look for that book , it should be on the "handy shelf" but it isn't!

Thank you for all these. Do they give other tailors' names? I am interested in the names Philips and Seman.There was also another tailor very nearby (described as Harry cohen, by the hippodrome) . Have posted it somewhere before on forum, but not sure where. This is from "My river Life" by Ron jones

Never mind the quality; feel the width.
Thank you all so much.Looks like mum's and nan's sewing machines in the window. There is a shop in Upton on Severn has them. That chap has my cardigan, I had sleeves it was chocolate brown and cream with a bit of cinnamon thread.
Thank you Alberta. I think, possibly the Seman family were not Tailors. But in the clothing trade somehow.Nico ,in 1911 there is an Isaac Phillips age 35b Germany living in Irving Street.(Tailor. waistcoats)
I found no surname Seman.
Going along the other entries there were many diferent surnames,Tailors , Tailoresses, Tailors pressers,Tailors cutters living in Irving street many from Russia with christian names such as Isaac, Abraham and Esther which may mean they were of the Jewish faith.
