Hi,
I'm seeking the location of G.STEFANTOS who I believe had "The People's Bookshop" in/around Plymouth,Devon.c1937.The shop was in a terrace and numbered 71.
Can anyone help with the exact location please?
Thank you

Also not a WW1 Pension application from Georgios STEFANTOS. He was aged 23 years and 10 months  at enlistment 12 Nov 1917 and 25 last birthday on Apr 18 1919 . He seems to have been a hotel waiter in London when he enlisted and address on discharge in 1919 was 58 Ebrington St Plymouth.

Thanks Kris very much for the info.
The shop number is indeed 71 a typing mistake on my behalf.
The link is actually an old post of mine!

Hi

I would like to use your photo on the cover of my forthcoming "Bibliography of the Communist Party of Great Britain" It is obviously a CP bookshop, almost certainly in Plymouth as I have not found any reference to a shop in Devonport in my researches.
It might lead to further information!

Please contact me.

Thanks
