Mrs A.M. Gunthorpe

As well as records Mrs G. also offered cabinets made to order, and gramophone repairs, possibly farming this work out. I love the idea of a record shop called Mrs. Gunthorpe’s! Ann and her husband Fred Gunthorpe lived in Bright Street in 1910 when Ann was 28. He opened a hairdressers in nearby Dunlop Street (there in 1919 – Whites Directory). The record shop is not listed that year so we assume she branched out sometime in the early 1920s. The area has been redeveloped.
