Dizzy Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I came across this today amongst another lot of stuff I have that my mum kept and treasured. It was in a small little leather case which belonged to her uncle and aunt and contains things that they had kept for whatever reason close to their hearts. Her uncle was born about 1904/6 and her aunt was born in 1906 and died in 1994. Anyway it's an old copy of a St Peters Church Parish Magazine dated October 1927. I'm guessing he kept this as perhaps some of his/her family were in it, maybe marriage, baptism, death... I have no idea. Anyway what I liked about it was that it contains old adverts from local Warrington businesses in 1927 so I've just scanned those pages and here they are. PS TraceyB .... no doubt the Church Warden and the advert for the same man about houses is another one of your Bennett clan ha ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Probably Dizz! 'Why don't you live in your own house?' caught my eye, I presume Reuban followed that with 'and sod off out of mine?!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 That one caught my eye Tracey too and I did wonder what exactly what was being offered or meant by it especially with him being the church warden too ha ha. The other that caught my eye was the one about 'Artificial Teeth (old) bought' and where it says 'If offer not accepted, parcel returned post free'. I can just imagine the teeth 'owners' sitting there trying to remember where they put their gnashers while other family members sat by the letter box every day waiting for the cash... or the teeth back if they weren't actually worth much after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I noticed that too, although it was the next owners of the teeth that I was wondering about! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Noticed an advert for Dawsons on the last page still in the same location today been going 115 years apparently. One that did make me chuckle a bit was the one for Miss Denton where it says at the bottom mourning and wedding orders promptly executed. not sure why it made me chuckle just my odd sense of humour i suppose.

Dizzy Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I hadn't spotted the Mrs Denton the Evils. Re Dawsons, I didn't know they had been trading for 115. Pretty going going that. They must have had two shops in 1927 as the advert says 59 and 65 Sankey Street. They are at number 65 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
