We have a family photo from about 1929 which is
supposed to show my grandpa Jack's garage ("Graphic Motor Works) which is
adjacent to a Mitre hotel, on one side (probably the West, from the shadows),
the Herald Printing Works on the other side and two doors away on the same
side, "The Horse and Farrier Hotel".
We think that the photo is likely to be in
Liverpool -since that is where the family had moved to at that time. We have
discovered that there was a Mitre Hotel in Dale Street at that time (since
rebuilt in the 1930s as the Crown and Mitre) but no directories show a Horse and
Farrier or a Herald printing Works.
1929/1930 was a time of world wide depression, so
businesses might not have lasted long then, so might have been absent from
directories. But can anybody help locate these businesses please.

The Horse and Farrier at Gatley, Cheadle, in Stockport District seems to have a motor vehicle establishment next to it.
