A Adderley, 70/72 Lythalls Lane Supply Stores, Lythalls Lane, Foleshill, The Stoke Portrait Co photographic postcard c.1912

Caption: The ‘A’ could stand for Alice (41) who was described as a shopkeeper in 1911, and both individuals shown outside are female, or maybe it was for her husband Alfred (40), who was noted as a tinsmith at the time. The houses are still standing but have now been converted back to residences as 70 and 72 Lythalls Lane. Their shop was at the end of a short terrace of four houses, fronting a much older row of houses, Alexandra Terrace. That, like of a number of earlier nineteenth century Foleshill developments, was just a single line of houses built at right angles to the main road. Creator: David Fry
