Hi all,

Nick, the new owner of the famous George Moore's shop at 99 Myddleton Road, has started the slow process of restoration - bringing back to life one of the last original shops on the road. 

As part of the restoration he needs to clear out all the old mouldy stock - including the window display which has attracted the interest of so many people over the years.

But he wants ideas for what to do with it all. Even in it's decaying state the display is part of the road's history.

He's keen to hear everyone's ideas - so do let us know what you think. Should we photograph it, save some of the items, put them on display?

See here for a blog on the shop and some photos, or here to listen to Brian (George Moore's son) talk about life on the road.

Photos below show him carefully removing the old paint from above the door to reveal the beautiful original Edwardian painted and carved shop signs - which he intends to keep.

Thanks

Toby

Hi, I'd be happy to offer my services to professionally photograph everything in the shop free of charge. It would make a fantastic online historic record

Our Local History Centre at Bruce Castle might be interested to know about this.
