Wilkinson’s Store, North Road

Wilkinson’s store, on the corner of North Road and Cleveland Street Loftus. Prominent on the photograph is Isaac Robinson of Loftus Foundry; who lived opposite the shop at Robinson terrace. His trademark white topper is seen on many early 20th century images of Loftus. This from a postcard view produced by T C Booth. George Trow advised: “My mum later had a hairdressing shop there; she was Dorothy Jackson then Dorothy Trow.”
