HI PJMBURNS
Just been reading your thread about your request for pratts; and you say in the kellys directry 1912
well i think i may be able to throw light on your request regarding the shop
and whether or not you are famiar with worcestershire
well the shambles is in our city centre its a long street of all the orinigle shops going back to that period
and matter of fact if its the shop i think it is i was only speaking to another shop keeper whom the shop is next door but one
and they date back to the period you are referrng to as this family of generation have been runningfor generations
it was a well known shop and last year they ceased trading and they was published and shown and interviewd on the BBC NEWS
And it was a huge shopp of glas ware crocery and all sorts of things it was a really fantasic shop
i will cros check the nam,e for you and come back later and if it is as i am pretty sure it is pratts thats why it was missing from you
it now openend up as huge toy shop this year
the shop i was in the otherday is a very old shop and as been in ecistancve as the pratts shop started the same period
and never been altered and the owner whom is a very old gentleman whom is active is in his ninteys
and very active the lady i was speaking to in the shop was his managess and we spoke of [pratts and said yes like pratts no family to continue there bussinees as they was old people as well as i used to go in there myself with the wife spoend hours in there
and like this shop [ the shoe shop these couple have no family members left so when the owner says enough is enough i will be out of a job
she her self is getting on so she as no prospect of working again
so your research i think aint gonna be in vain ;best wishes Astonian
