History of Geronimo’s Ltd., 28 Sandgate Road, Folkestone ?
« on: Monday 17 January 22 17:11 GMT (UK) »
Just found my ancestors in 1921 working at this Bakers & Confectioners, 28 Sandgate Road, Folkestone.
Does anyone know anything about the place or have any old photos or references please ?
Thanks

There's no 'e' in it - it was Gironimos Ltd

That’s great, thanks everyone.

I’m thrilled to see it says ‘chocolate makers’ because I have a wonderful photo of him and his colleagues making chocolates so now I know where it was taken.

Happy to help.  :D

One of my father's first jobs was in a chocolate factory - he couldn't eat chocolate for many many many years after!

Ah bless him, I wish I could resist it !!
Shame the building is no longer there, it was bombed in the 1940’s I believe.
