Alfred Cooper was at 18 Aston Street from at least the 1850s, moving to new premises on Corporation Street in the late 1890s. The Corporation Street premises (#262 and #264) are marked on the map (red dot).

Interesting to see these newspaper ads documenting the construction of new shop premises as part of the later stages of the Corporation Street development project in the 1890s.
