I’ve updated Monday’s 132 Wickenden Street<\/a> post. I had mis-typed “Jack’s” instead of “Jake’s” a couple of times. Corrected now. I’ve also re-thought what Faig’s \u201cone door east\u201d means in the context of this new-found picture. It now looks to me like “Jake’s” had been on the opposite corner (i.e. the open forecourt seen here), and had moved across to the other corner at 132 when the Shell gas-station forecourt was built on the site of 126.<\/p>\n

126 was now only in open in the afternoon and early evenings, perhaps a sign of staff problems. Canal St. was still only closed from midnight to 4am, with the expanded opening hours possibly a sign of needing the income.<\/p>\n

* Late September 1935 ad…<\/p>\n

The ad has No. 126 open 24 hours a day except Sundays, and no mention of Canal St. Which had closed down that same month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
