Next door were Manfield & Sons, and H. P. Tyler, both also boot manufacturers, and retailers.

Alexander Wilson who took this photograph, was a supervisor in a Dundee jute mill for over 20 years. He bequeathed much of his collection and £50, to cover the costs involved, to the Free Library Committee of Dundee in 1923.
