Look up please for Printers in Fleet Street circa 1920

[Steve C]

Does anyone have access to information, records or directories who could kindly carry out a Look Up for me please.

I am after a name or confirmation of a printers/printing firm based at Fleet Buildings in Fleet Street, Leicester. Circa 1920.

Many thanks in anticipation for all offers of help

There is a Keene & Co, Christmas Card Manufacturers of Fleet St, Leicester advertising for staff in 1912?
   Tuesday,  Nov. 19, 1912, Publication: Nottingham Evening Post

Also this ad in 1925, such a poor quality I can't really make out what it is  but I think it's for the "litho dept", so perhaps a printers?

Oh, I can't attach an image here, happy to send you the image if you'd like. Send me a pm.

Thank you very much maddys52 for your reply and the details you enclose, it is greatly appreciated

I have also managed to find the image you mention but as you state the quality is poor 

Will keep researching to see if I can get any other leads.

Many thanks again Steve

Hi. I'm a bit late as only just seen this

My grandfather worked for A H Skinner Co Ltd, Lithographic Printers, Fleet Street, Leicester in 1921. Could this be what you were looking for?

Checking the 1921 census, quite a lot of people worked for a printing firm in Fleet Street, and all for A. H. Skinner at no. 3.

Alfred Henry Skinner is listed as an employer as was William Edgar Bunney.

One of the employees has what looks like Skinner & Bunny as the employer.

Thank you Steffie for your reply and the details you supply. It could well be that your Grandfather worked with my Grandfather.

Many thanks David for taking the time to reply.

I hadn`t mentioned any names previously as I didn`t want to influence any potential replies I had with possible mis-information. I placed the original query as an elderly relative who is no longer with us mentioned once that my Grandfather worked for Bunny and Skinner. He allegedly served his apprenticeship there and she was supposed to be in possession of his apprenticeship papers but these unfortunately went awol along with a lot of other paperwork and photographs before she passed away.

Seems you and Steffie have kindly answered my query 

Many thanks Steve

Been adding a few details to my family tree over the weekend and this got me wondering whether anyone knows if there are any old photos of Fleet Street in Leicester and also Charles Street in Leicester.

My Grandfather worked at Skinner and Bunny in Fleet Street and just realised that the elderly relative worked at Cherub Ltd in Charles Street which appears literally just around the corner.

I don`t possess many family photos, so it would be great if someone could point me in the right direction or recommend a good book with photos of old Leicester in 

Many thanks Steve

Is this the "Cherub" building you meant?
