Picken Matthew

This is so useful, thank you. They obviously extended Frankfort Street and reused the Macdonald Street name. The factory in the 1990s was almost opposite the end of Gee Street, so you are about right.

I have not read the attachments yet but something occurred to me.
In 1895 Matthew was at 24 Frankfort Steet and back of 24 was Sarah Cudd, cycle fittings, and in 1900 at the back there was The Wizzard Vacuum Manufacturers!

This may be a complete red herring but the Wizzard Dust Extractor Company Limited of Frankfort Street went into voluntary liquidation in November 1914 and was put up for sale. Could Picken have bought it and used as part of the expansion.
