Sharpe’s Music Stores

Rushden Argus, 7th May 1897

Music and Musical Instruments, all kinds of Tutors, Strings, Music, and Instruments sent by post same day as ordered.—Sharpe’s Music Stores, Rushden.


Captioned 'c1895 Henry Sharpe's tobacconist.' (no 90) Harry Sharpe was also a musical instrument maker - in 1900 he was bankrupt.

The buildings were not numbered until about 1898.

The two thatched cottages are being demolished. (92 & 94)

Note the footpath is higher than the road, making easy loading of the reclaimed brick and stone from the window openings into the cart on what appears to be a muddy road!
