Similar to poster outside shop flic.kr/p/2nPKwS4 The three women represent Scotland, England and India in their traditional dress No mention of Ireland All three have similar complexions and hair colour, even the Indian, thus conforming to Victorian ideals of beauty.

The original St. Aidan’s RC church in our photo is no more. That lane is called Chapel Lane, not sure what’s going on, some sort of bric-à-brac stall selling pictures?

More than you want to know about the ‘United Kingdom Tea Co. Ltd’ wellcomecollection.org/works/gybumpz2/items?canvas=37 They lay great claim to removing the middleman from the sales transaction, thereby reducing the price of tea by 1 shilling per pound. In case you wondered how to make a cuppa: flic.kr/p/2nPNNx6

Just realised that the ‘coca’ in Conyngham’s Coca Wine in above ad is actually cocaine. No wonder “it imparted new life and vigour”

That United Kingdom Tea Company poster would make a great bit of art today.
