Hi Angela. I wasn't sure if I'd get a response to my post as it's been so long since this thread was posted to, so it's lovely to hear from you! You seem to have the same problem I do, with all the family members that might have known something being long gone. The Patterson/Pattison thing does make things complicated for you research-wise. It's wonderful that the photo of the shop has survived, though. I'm afraid I don't know very much at all about Hardy Terrace, except that it was also their family home (parents were still there in an earlier census), though I did manage to find and "screenshot" some newspaper adverts relating to the business. Would they be of any use to you? If so, message me, and I'll root through my notes to see if I can help you with anything else that might be of interest. I think I jotted down the details of the dissolving of the partnership between Arthur and Fred, from the London Gazette.
