Does anyone know where this photo might have been taken? It was taken in July 1941, and my auntie, Evelyn Hanson, is seated second from left in the floral dress.
I know she worked at Lewis's on the Perfume & Make Up counter until the beginning of the war, but for the duration of the war she worked in the old Morris factory making parts for aeroplanes as part of the war effort. After the war she worked for many years as Head Receptionist at the Grand Hotel.
I wonder if this was a Lewis's firms do at a Hotel, maybe the Grand. Any ideas? The sign on the wall says:
IMPORTANT NOTICE
CONTINUATION OF SERVICE
DURING ‘ALERTS’
We have now arranged that when the City Alert sounds we shall complete the service of meals to customers already in the restaurants.
Directly the roof spotters ring the store alarm bell customers should however, for their own safety, proceed without delay to the reception floors.
