Good Evening everyone!
I have a quick question regarding the shop known as Robert Sayle which was destroyed in a fire in 1956. What I would like to know is the location. The reason I ask, is that I have been handed some photos and the owner thought they were photos of a bomb blast (WW2) in Bridge Street. However, I'm quite certain that there wasn't many bombs dropped on p'boro and I don't think Bridge St was hit. Also, a couple of cars in the photo lead me to believe that they were taken post WW2. A couple of vehicles actually look like they are from the 1950s. I have a pretty good idea of the location these photos were taken (I don't believe they are of Bridge St.), and I suspect it is the Robert Sayle store.
Also, does anyone remember a store by the name of the Peterborough Electric Company?
I was going to pop in the library at the weekend to research this, but I thought I would test the group's knowledge first.
