I must try and catch up with some of this next year.  I last saw Morris Men in Cleethorpes outside the lakeside Station of the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway.

Currys started in the Louth in 1904 as a cycle shop called Louth Cycle Company.  The original shop was at 106 Eastgate, Louth.  There is a plaque in the wall outside the shop that shows the address as 102 1/2 Eastgate.
