Hello Mark,

John Noble Ltd was a small mail order firm based just off East Travis Sreeet behind Piccadilly Station. It was really very old fashioned, a mixture of Grace Brothers and Shadrack and Duxbury. As a lowly office junior I was not allowed to use the front entrance. You had to reach the dizzy heights of clerk before you were allowed this privelege. I used the warehouse entrance along with the rest of the Great Unwashed!
The advertising department was responsible for producing the catologues. It was actually jointly managed by Harry and a bloke called Dave Perry. Dave was responsible for the photography, Harry for the printing. I believe the firm was eventually taken over by GUS.

I seem to remember that the filmed folk night took place upstairs at the Crown & Anchor, near Stevenson Square.

Cheers.
