Help identifying a shop in Lincoln circa 1923

[bibliotaphist]

The shop is Whitton and Ashley, wine merchants.  183-4 High Street near the Central Station level crossing.  Building demolished in 1970 for the building of Wigford Way.

Thank you It's About Lincoln. What makes you believe it is that shop and not the one on Burton Rd discussed above?

In defence of my Burton Rd assertion -

Whitton and Ashley's door was on the left. I would suggest the mystery photo appears to have a door in the centre.

Whitton and Ashley have many newspaper adverts in the 1920s.  All seem to say Wine and Spirit Merchants ... but the right hand window appears to have MARGARINE and many cans of food.

As I said before, a Blaze and Housley advert specifically mentioned Whitbread's Ales and Stouts.

They also appear in 1919 directory under "Grocers and Tea Dealers".
