Howard Boxall's Shop 167 Turnpike Lane, c. 1905

This shop was on the south side of Turnpike Lane between Wightman Road and the railway bridge, in a terrace demolished in the 1970s.

The Boxalls seem to have taken over Sawney's newsagents in 1903 (just a year before your photo was taken - see below) and run the business till at least 1937, with Katherine’s name “appearing over the door” from the early/mid 1930s. She was still running the shop up to the War.

Thanks to descendant Ralph Dalton for the photo and for his permission to publish it.

I've previously published a series photos of that section of Turnpike Lane taken by commercial photographer Alfred Braddock here. No 167 just makes it onto the right hand edge of Fig. 3.
