Subject: [ENG-CAMS] CLEMENTS Newsagents in St Ives, Huntingdon
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 17:28:35 +0000 (GMT)


Does anyone remember a newsagent by the name of CLEMENTS in St Ives, Huntingdon?

My mother has come across a photo which I am trying to place.
The photo appears to be taken abt 1920-1930's but possible later & shows two gentlemen outside a Newsagent/Stationery shop with a news board showing the Name "B CLEMENTS" on it.
We are guessing it maybe in St Ives as that is where my mothers relatives Sydney & Emma CLEMENTS (nee HARBOUR) lived.
Other clues to the date include newspaper headlines of
" 30 Crippled children in road smash" and
" Brighter prospects for cotton peace" - I found some reference's to a Cotton industry problem in the Times online index, but is seemed to go on all through the 20's & 30's so wasn't much help.
Any clues would be much appreciated.
