Extracted from meories of the 1890s by JEM
Advertising was done locally, mainly through the medium of Mr. Cheney West, the town crier. If anything had been lost or found, or if anything was about to take place, such as a sale by auction, this gentleman, who also had the job of bill-posting, had the task of "crying" the particulars.
Note: this was Cornelius West, a native of Podington. He is noted in Kelly's of 1894 and 1903 when he lived at 23 Grove Road. |
