Hello Gladys, there is, in the Gwent Archives a lovely book compiled by The Abergavenny
Local History Society of all the shops, pubs and commercial premises in Abergavenny. The
book also gives information where possible, of previous occupiers, their trade,
photograph and history of the building. Unfortunately I will not be visiting the RO until
March but maybe there is someone who is and could do a look up for you.
Kind regardsVivienne

Subject: [MON] Abergavenny tailor shops,abt 1920-1925
Good Morning List & Happy New Year to Everyone!
Perhaps someone can help me with a question about retail shops. I have a picture of two
men standing in front of a tailor establishment in Abergavenny. I know one of them to be
Andrew Farrington b abt 1890.
Only the entrance and one window is shown in the photo and the printing on the window
says:
LADIES AND GENTS TAILORS
J A CALDER A FARRINGTON
I estimate that Andrew is 30-35 yrs old.
The street address above the doorway says: 3225.
I notice the sidewalk in front is made of wide boards.
Can anyone tell me where to look for a listing of establishments about this time?
I appreciate any help
Gladys in Alberta, Canada
