Hi

I was hoping someone could lookup something for me in the 1955 directory please.

It's an odd request as this has nothing really to do with my family history.

As a child I remember going regularly to a shop in Oakfield Road, Anfield.
It was a haberdashery/drapers shop run by two ladies who I think were great friends of my nans, (they may even have been relatives and I didn't know), I loved it there as there were all these little drawers stuffed with threads, wool, ribbons, buttons etc and I loved to play.

Anyway back to the lookup

Is there any mention of a haberdashery/drapers shop in the 1955 directory and maybe names of the ladies?

Many thanks
Cheers
Erika

Hi Doe

Many thanks for the lookup.

Names don't ring a bell, but I was only little at the time
However something keeps telling me the names Kit and Bet! Think Bet is short for Elizabeth maybe, but don't know about Kit.

Thanks again
Cheers

Hi Erika
Have you thought about posting in Old Pals at Lpool Echo site?
Worth a try, they have memories better than elephants.
