My father Frank Evans and his very good friend Jack Ingram rented a workshop at56,Albion Street from around 1950 until about 1996. The workshop was on the top floor and can only be described as Dickension. I always loved going to visit there to watch them work and so did my children and grandson as time went by. They traded under the name of Ingram and Evans and did all sorts of work i.e. making up silver tea services, candle sticks etc. Dad worked well into his eighties but sadly passed away in 2006. It is so good to hear that these buildings are being preserved and I know Dad and Jack would be too. Dad left all the tools that he worked with at the shop when he retired. I shall look forward to visiting again when all is finished. If I can help with any more information please get in touch.

I like it. I have do doubt they would, where’s the media profile or private partnerships in looking after a building that isn’t obviously a candidate for “conservation”?
