It refers to a Newton Husbands of Kottingham House, Burton on Trent, and shows a holding in a company called State Electric Palaces.

Kottingham House was for awhile the HQ of the publishers of Waterways World magazine, which is still in publication but at a different address in Burton.  I wonder whether they have any information which might help?

Hello Alan, I hope you're still around, as it's been a year since you posted! Can you remember where 6 Dale Street was in relation to your house, at all? My Alfred Newton lived at that address from some time in the 1870s until he died in 1889, and it would be great to know which side of the street his house was (not to mention anything else you can remember about the area), as I'm currently putting together a booklet on the lives and times of my ancestors for my family. I've an 1884 map of Burton and there are several short stretches of terracing on the side you lived on and a longer one running between Canal and Paget Streets on the opposite side. Today, the whole area is an industrial estate, so there are no clues as to how it looked before.
