Hi Tina,

Looks like foreman fruit trade - green to me.

Hope this helps.

I agree with Gray.

The boundary of the Enumerator's Walk is on the North by West Derby Street, on the East by the point of junction between Paddington, Irvine Street, and Highgate Street, on the South by Paddington and on the West by Crown Street.

So Bamber Street would be quite near Edge Lane where the fruit market is/was.

Thank you Ladies...
I never thought about fruit although it did say green
Will email my dear friend.
This family & the lass he married into, all moved to Birkenhead, then Heswall and made a pile...
My 80 yr old friend never had to work, just go out to tea with her mother etc. Shopping at George Henry Lees in Lpool.
She married a man of "means' came over to West Aus and got the shock of her life...she couldn't boil water.
I just love listening to her when she talks about the "Wallasey" days..

Great idea Simone!
Her older sister got pregnant to an American G.I
Mamma nearly died of shame, bundled her off to a Gt Aunt in the wilds of Lancashire, told the villagers she was nursing in France!!
The sister died fairly young, long before agencies like Jigsaw.
