I have a coat hanger with this address on. My Dad worked in a “gentleman’s outfitters” in Stockton before the war. I was delighted to see the catalogue…good old Google!
Hi I do a little metal detecting and was out today and found a day Hill and Co. clothing token for the north of England, North Shields Newcastle and Sunderland and wondered if there is any collectors for them thanks
I still have a 1d old Hillcarter coin from the late 60’s when I had been shopping with my mother at the North Shields branch.
I’ve found a tokem
I actually have a piece of their furniture! It is a dressing table/vanity & I have never found another one like it.
We found the name Hill Carter & Co written in lead pencil on a shelf board in an entagere we have owned for a number of years and was in need of a good going over. found this signature only two weeks ago. would appreciate knowing more about this company and possibly date the piece we have.
This was discovered under the floorboards of my mothers large Victorian detached house in Saltburn – untouched for over 100 years!
