Identification of name of company
« on: Tuesday 05 December 23 14:30 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone identify the name of the company shown on the attached image and what their business was. The image shows the company that a man worked for in 1914 just before he enlisted for WW1.

Not sure of the last word, but 

Messrs Hamlyn & Co., Juniper Street, Bankshall, ????

Haven't found Hamly & Co yet, but there was a Bankhall Works in Juniper Street, Liverpool which used to be in Lancashire.

Thanks for that, I was leaning towards Liverpool as the last word.

ADDED:

Perhaps AllanUK could give us the name and location on that form.  :-\

Thank you all for your thoughts on the name etc.

ShaunJ -- a big thank you -- this ties in with the 1911 occupation of the man I am looking at.

Many thanks once again.
