Talk:J R Roberts Stores

Southend Store
The Southend store according to the evidence of the SEAX records was originally at Nelson Road, which had been the original High Street in Southend (the Clifftown development). They moved to 90 High Street sometime in the 1930s, as from 1900 this location had been home to Percy Raven, who at some point moved to the London Road after 1928 (Britain from Above shows that the store had not yet been built, and the architecture of the building which now hosts Nandos and TSB is 1930s in appearance though greatly altered). I cannot find any evidence on the net of this.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 11:35, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Found this advert https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/750904937881857188/ which shows Ravens moved in 1933 to London Road so updated the page.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 05:22, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
