My great grandfather was a tailor before the first world war and I have a wonderful photograph of he and his colleagues standing outside their shop, Carlish's American Tailors, in Red Lion Court, Fleet Street in 1912. I know it's 1912 because there's a large sign in the shop window proclaiming "Blues and Greys for season 1912"!
However what I would like to know is more information regarding Carlish's American Tailors. I have tried to find information on the internet but to date I've had no luck. Does anyone have any ideas where I might be able to find anything out?
Regards
Stewart

I can find at http://www.historicaldirectories.org a Rosenthal, Moses, a tailor at 6 Red Lion Court, Fleet Street, in 1910
There are also some references to "Carlish Brothers", tailors/outfitters, but not at that address (but perhaps they took over Moses' business at some point?)

- an Anthony Handel Carlish is described as a tailor in 1913, trading as "Carlish's"
