Description:
Ashmore and Pickering umbrella shop on Long Row Central. This site was later the Mikado Cafe, and is now Debenhams.
The sign above the shop reads Ashmore (Late) Pickering. In 1861 and 1871 it was the residence of a George Ashmore (Umbrella Maker and Repairer) and his wife Eliza. No reference to the Pickering connection has been found. (Additional information very kindly supplied by Alan Newman).
