Thank you for your reply. I can't find anything that connects her to the shop & I'm wondering why someone would take a photo of her there. She had 13 children so I can't see her working in a shop as well but thanks for your help.
Thank you for all your kind information. Florence was born in November 1883. I'm not good at judging ages but she looks to be about 30ish in the photo. Maybe it was taken around 1913 or so.
I've attached the photo for information. It looks like she is standing in front of a shop with the Castor Works in the background. I have enhanced this photo.
Hi,
In the background of a photo of my grandmother there is a building behind her with the name 'John Hudson Union Castor Works' on it. Does anyone know where this company was, could it be in Aston?
Many thanks
Lynne
