In the 1913 Directory of City of Lincoln, Elmers Wardrobe Depot was listed as being in Clasketgate which of course Flaxengate crosses.

Thanks Alan

I have quite a few directory refs for the company from the early 1880's through to the 1930's. Seems they had at least two premises, one on Flaxengate and one at 29 Clasketgate.


Re the house clearances etc

Danes Terrace was previously known as Bull Ring Terrace (certainly mid 1880's) and judging by the maps of the time there doesn't appear to be much different building wise from the 1880's to 1905 and beyond.

The Housing Act document mentioned is one of a few at the library for different areas of the town, i had a good nose through one for the Waterside South area (with one lot down there and another in Brummits Court my lot lived in all the best places ;)). The one i read detailed the condition of the houses, sanitation, population levels, infant mortality and noted that two folks had died after falling down the incredibly steep stairs that had no hand rails.

Ditto in the 1933 Kelly's Directory (Wardrobe Dealer) and 1900 (no number given)

Hi,
Whilst researching my Grandfather William Clayton who was killed in action in Loos France in 1915 and dealing with his father Henry Clayton 1846 to 1892 I came across this post which is now several years old but we share a Great Great Grandfather. I have just registered with Roots Chat today in order to be able to message you but not really sure whether it will work. Ian Berry son of Ronald Berry (deceased) whose mother was Ethel May Clayton daughter of William Clayton of Lincoln. Thanks
