That's a clever girl! She painted it herself. It's easy with these 5 ways to home beauty - Darkaline High Gloss Satin, Wallcharm Satin Wall Paint, Japlac Gay Lacquer, Evenglo High Gloss Paint, 'Liquid Lino' Floor Paint.

My Mum worked there in the 1950's. I remember as a lad being taken there to be shown off to her friends prior to 19560.

Many years ago I bought an old car and in the inside pocket of the front door was a bundle of cards and two badly damaged receipts (?) from Colthurst & Harding dated 1929. Anyone researching this company/family is welcome to them!

Hello Victoria Colthurst
I am searching Harding family history and the Harding part of Colthurst Harding seems to derive from a Thomas Harding born c1826.
I am pleased to share information on this enterprise.

Best regards
Charles Earl

d love to find out more. Many thanks
