Great Russell St
Steven, my best mate worked there and at Derby and at Burntree...Mike Parkes..did you know him??
I have just purchased a book Wilkinson and Riddell Ltd 1851-1951. The main reason I bought it was because my brother worked there in the 60's. They were drapers in Birmingham they started their first warehouse in 1863 in Temple Row, 1884 Corporation Street, 1896 Cherry Street. I believe my brother worked in Edmund Street. The book looks facinating when I have read it I will post more.
Hello Leonard, it's been quite a while since iv'e been on here. Yes, I do remember Mike Parkes, I think he was area manager, a nice bloke as I remember. He always seemed to arrive with a bunch of paperwork under his arms. Nice times. Best wishes....SteveSteven, my best mate worked there and at Derby and at Burntree...Mike Parkes..did you know him??
