Huxford (hucksford) and Sanderson Grimsby
« on: Saturday 04 March 17 15:47 GMT (UK) »
hi does anyone know of a shop(s) in Grimsby lincolnshire called
'huxford and sanderson'
could be hucksford possible electrical type shops.
I'm looking for the family that owned these shops because they were cousins to my grandmother Marjorie Andrew as they raised her from a small child.
My grandmother was born around 1915 so I'm looking for around that time and beyond. My aunty her daughter remembers the shops as a child and occasional visits form them.
Does anyone have knowledge these shops

Hi,
Possibly a couple of snippets on Google books suggesting Edward James Huxford and Walter Sanderson electrical engineers at 57 Buller Street Grimsby. Is that too late?

Thakyou that does sound right as my aunty said it was something to do with Tv as she rembers in her day. Ive just got to see if I can connect who actually brought up my grandmother they were cousins but whether they were her cousins or one of her parents cousins im not sure.

Until a few years ago there was a television, washing machines, fridges etc. shop in Freeman Street, Grimsby dealing under the name of Huxfords.

I'm pretty sure the shop is now in Brigg, opposite Old Courts Rd carpark.

I wonder if just in name or whether it would still be with the original family
