My mother, Elizabeth Taylor, served an apprenticeship at Pendleburys as a dress maker. This was in the 1930's

Thanks Ron, I wish I could remember much more of the store pre fire. My vivid memory is walking down Standishgate with my mum on the way to School, smoke still rising and fire engines and hose pipes everywhere.
To me the 1950’s seems to have been a decade of suspicious fires!
