Wall Advertisement at 10 High Street, Herne Bay

[Phodgetts]

Hello people of Herne Bay and Kent! 

I have a family postcard collection and in it a relative or a person connected with one of my relatives lived at 10 High Street, Herne Bay. Having looked at the address on modern mapping, I see there is a painted name or business advertisement on the front wall quite high up. It looks to me like 'PERMANENTWAVINNG' ? Can anyone local please tell me something about it.

Also the information I have about the people at that address on 3 July 1920 are just two capital letters for names signed off on a postcard simply as J & B.

Clutching at straws I know, but I am curious and hopeful for ANY information. Searches on the WWW are providing few results.

Thank you and best wishes

Philip

From advertisements in old newspapers 10 High Street was The Bamboo Toilet Rooms, the manager was Thomas Tripp, who was a chiropodist and masseur, his wife noted as Madame Tripp was a hairdresser.  Newspaper ads from 1914 to mid 1920's as Bamboo Toilet Rooms, then became known as Maison Central into early 1930's.
