Fleur, the F. W. Woolworth Company was founded in Utica, NY in 1879 and closed business in 1997...so those living in the U.S. have heard of it. LOL. One of the foremost ways Americans would relate to the store as far as history goes is the event on May 28, 1963 when 14 activists - both black and white - protested Jim Crow segregation via a sit-in at Woolworth's "whites only" lunch counter in Jackson, Mississippi. This event is considered by some to be "the signature event of the protest movement in that town, being the first involving real violence. The following year, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed into law.
The " striped socks" on the lead soldier are known as puttees which are leg bindings. Love your channel!
The Chubb lock company was founded in 1818 by brothers, Charles and Jeremiah Chubb, at their premises on Temple Street, Wolverhampton. This was enabled by Jeremiah’s invention of the ‘Detector’ lock, winning him 100 Guineas in a government competition to create an un-pickable lock that could only be opened by its own key.
You can't go wrong with a good connection to a serial killer - everyone loves a good scare. Amazing find.
I would like to say that I truly adore,and am inspired by the sense of Joy in which you live your lives.
A up you two. How are you. Hope you are both keeping well..stay safe Stay alive 🙏❤
Many towns in America had both Woolworth and Ben Franklin's stores. We had one in both towns I grew up in in different States. I bought my first 33 Album at Woolworth's - John Denver's first recorded album 😊 ❤! And, I still have it!
If you can stay close to the water with your sieve, you might get results by swishing the filled sieve in the water. 😊
I wanted to suggest that you should carry along an empty plastic jug along when you are going to use a sieve. You could carefully fill it up so Fleur could pour water over her scrappings in the sieve. It would make it easier for her to see what's in it. I know plastic is horrid but it's also lightweight. Think on it. deb
❤Luv ya bunches, Fleur and Kate ❤
The piece of coral Fleur found, looked like a tiny ear of corn 🌽 when she held it up! 😊
The BEST sherd story so far! Loved the reading with typing in the background! Fleur, you have an excellent storytelling voice!
This was an amazing story of jack the ripper. London has so many stories and lots of history. Was good to hear it, thank you
I love sherd stories! Thank you for all your research 😊 We have Woolworths in Australia today, we call it Woolies, it’s one of the biggest providers in Australia.
In the early '70's when I was a young girl, my Aunt would take us to Woolworth's, she would get her household items, my sister and I would get a toy or game, coloring book. They had a diner inside, big long counter with the stools, we usually would get ice cream. New Brunswick, New Jersey. Always love the finds, sherd stories, and you both!🥰🌟
Great history on the Three Nuns Hotel along with the reading of the suspect Jack the Ripper! Amazing what you learn from 1 piece of a broken sherd. Amazing finds from the shores where people just tossed their things out hundreds of years ago. Wonderful work ladies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
I wonder if jiggling the sieve in the water would help reveal things better? Kate, that broken pen nib made me think of a miniature suit of armor glove. We had Woolworth’s in the USA.
I miss Woolies too! I also remember ½penny sweets - my Nan saved up the little coins and my treat each weekend was to be able to go spend some in Woolies 🙂 Great finds as always ladies, lots of interesting history.
Hi Fleur and Kate. I have done a quick google myself. The key says Sankey Sheldon, not Samkey Sheldon. Snaky Sheldon were manufacturers of industrial file cabinets. Their furniture is now collectible. You never know, perhaps the filing cabinet to the key may still be around.
Wonderful little finds as always Sherd Stories is always an absolute treat. And to have a link to Jack the Ripper is a real bonus. Love it. Thank you beautiful ones xx Teresa ❤🇦🇺
