Hello,
I was hoping to post this query on your blog, but can’t seem to work out how to do it, so am hoping it might be possible to do it via this email!
I am trying to find out more about a cabinet making firm called Ray and Miles, of London Road, Liverpool. I’ve contacted the LRO and they don’t have any company records, nor can I find them via A2A.
I am hoping you might have someone in your membership who would know more about them or might be interested in talking to me.
Many thanks,
Jenni
A piece of trivia re: Ray and Miles- Basil Rathbone, who played Sherlock Holmes so memorably in the iconic series of Hollywood films made just before and during the war had been one of their salesmen-possibly he had a family connection.
ReplyDeleteMaples did indeed swallow them up. I remember it happening, when I was a pupil at the Liverpool Institute- I used to pass the store on the way to school. That would date it between 1961 and 69ish
