Topliss’ grocers shop, Ludgate Hill, Waltham.

William Edward Topliss, draper, milliner, dress maker, grocer, provision merchant, boot and shoe warehouse and clothier of Ludgate Hill in Waltham. He also had warehouses in London and Manchester and a shop in Laceby.

At a later date, Mr. Topliss had another shop in Waltham near the junction of Barnoldby Road and Brigsley road.

This is the original photo. The annotation on the back suggests it was taken in 1909. Is that William Edward Topliss in the doorway?
