Coffee Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Went into town today and noticed Edwin Allen has closed down! I am guessing Edwin Allen must have been one of Warringtons oldest businesses in the town center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Yes - founded in 1894 by the great grandfather of the most recent owner. The business had been on the market for some time with a price tag of £285,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 bought my first set of draughting implements from there when i was doing technical drawing at school, also bought several paint brushes from there for art as well, squirrel hair they were called, not sure if they were actual squirrel hair or if that was just a name they were given. very good brushes for water colour painting. especially for the fine detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
