Never thought anyone would be interested tbh, but you never know!

Well, thanks for the help finding a picture of May & Co., I don't think I would ever have found it on my own! It's probably the only one taken while they were still trading, I've certainly never...

Ah yes it’s a newer building on the same site then which threw me!

So I think May and Co were on Government Road/Moi road perhaps.

Next is to search those roads for pictures with May and Co...

Thanks williemays, not sure if thats a later business in the same location, or a different location. I need to identify the street in sweets link I think.

Looks like the photo that sweets found with May & Co on is the only one so far. I don't seem to get any good results searching on Alamy for some reason.

Will try looking for Barclays in Nairobi.

Would never have thought of putting inverted commas for a search!

Wow, thanks sweets, thats impressive! How did you find it? That is almost certainly May and Co. so will try to narrow down the street to look for more images.

I think in those days 'sailmakers' would would make canvas covers for wagons, and make/repair tents and the like. This was likely in the period when safari's were popular in Kenya.

You may be right, but I don’t think it’s May & Co.
Appreciate you looking though.

:unconscious:

I think you're right, and sweets probably ID'd it right as Alibhai & Co Ltd. So still looking for May & Co. Ltd but it has eliminated some red herrings.

Thanks guys.

Checked it but couldn't see anything thanks. Might be 1958 is too late, probably in the 1900-1930 range.

Sorry not yet. Tried on phone then gave up! Will have a look on Mac after breakfast.

I think you’re right the original image probably isn’t clear enough but thanks for trying.

Thanks, it’s actually the website I found the image on, there’s a lot of images on there!

The business I’m searching for was called “May & Co. Ltd - The Sports House - Nairobi”.
Although I can...

Thanks might be worth a try.

Thanks for trying guys, it’s probably not the one I’m looking for but it was worth a try!

Not sure about that 😂

Hi all, just wondered if any of the esteemed members are a whizz with old images? On the image below, there are two cars parked on the left. The further away is parked outside a shop and I would like...
