  Christine W. asked:

  This is a bit of a long shot but has anyone ever heard of an artist in the Middlesex area in the 1950s called T. S. Hamaton? My Mum had an oil painting done in 1954 by this person and I have a vague idea it might be a woman and it was someone local to the area when we lived in Stirling Road, Hayes. I can't find the name in any of the list of artists in oil. Or, does anyone know the name in a certain area?

  Lost G. asked:

  LG fan Angela Mathers is trying to track down any information on this old shop, probably in the East End. Cobbler Charlie Cater 'A surgeon to old shoes' certainly knew how to advertise his skills at the last. The shop harks back to the days when shoes were expensive and were repaired rather than thrown away. The sign outside the shop advertises another branch, in Bridgeton Main Street, but does anyone know where this shop stood? Picture was taken around 1900.

  Looks like he had premises at 7 East Hope Street and 76 Naburn Street - perhaps one of those? https://www.thegazette.co.uk/.../11509/page/464/data.pdf
