If you do have any pictures we'd love to see them; and if you like, to include them in ur exhibition. If you find any, you can get in touch with me and Laura Yates at FACT: boldstreet@fact.co.uk and we can talk through how we could include this. Thanks Again, Katie Hi Gavin,

In 1874 Bradbury's of Oldham (Sewing Machine Manufacturers) bought out his business. I have a copy of an advertisement from 1880 that lists their Liverpool depot at 128 Bold Street. They were still there at the turn of the century, and possibly until the 1920s. I am searching for old photographs of 128 Bold St. which is at the St. Lukes end.
