I found this piece in the 'Oadby & Wigston Mail' dated 10th May 1990: “THIS week A. G. Kemble celebrate 30 successful years in business. For on May 6th 1960, the day Princess Margaret married Anthony Armstrong Jones, Mr. Tony Kemble and his wife Pauline opened their first shop at Leicester Road, Wigston.”
… and this advert in the 12th December 1996 edition: “Large Selection of CDs and Tapes, Gift Vouchers Available at A. G. KEMBLE Ltd., 63 Leicester Road, Wigston Tel: (0116) 2881557.”
