Genuinely fascinating- I had never heard of that.
So clever my foot fell off.
A enjoyable read , thank you for posting .
Interesting reading, I'd missed that, thanks for highlighting.
It says she kept her business going until 1940 when it was no longer safe to walk the streets during WW2. I wonder why radio time signals, which were supposedly started in 1905, hadn't put her out of business sooner?
Very odd captions!
What a great story, never heard of it before!
