Brentford High Street: Adverts from 1898

Basics

Thanks to Janet McNamara for providing these.

As well as placing a trader at a particular address between censuses, the adverts also include some useful snippets of information:

William Lee the butchers was 'late O'Hara' and the business was established 50 years in 1898 (an 1889 advert makes the same assertion)
J Stringer the butcher was late 'R W Hughes' and this business was established in 1798
William Borer's business was established in 1863

The parish magazines for St George are held at Chiswick Library, Dukes Avenue, Chiswick.
