Hi, my name is Alison Walton, birth name Ryles.
A friend of mine works in the shop that was originally known as Ryles Ltd. I called in the shop today for the first time and on talking to the shop owner I found out the name of the original shop. As I walked about I spoke to a gentleman upstairs who was dressed in a Blue consierge's uniform which I found quite odd as it was so old fashioned. I asked the owners if they knew they had a ghost and they said that they thought they might have but that no one had seen it. I the proceeded the discribe this gentleman to them and thats when I found out about Ryles the department store. Also there is a lady who is also there who I believe was in charge of the Tea-shop that was there at that time. Could you send me some more details of this shop and its staff and also a bit on the family history. It would be really special if I could be part of its history.
Yours Alison
