Columbia Rd E2, help to identify shop owners

110 Columbia Road was occupied by Herbert Clover from 1923 (possibly 1921) to 1940, according to London directories. He took over from Robert Lackford and was succeeded by James Kensit.

Does that help?

Hello Mean_genie,
Thank you so much for that information, it looks very positive indeed.
I have HERBERT STEPHEN CLOVER b1897 Bow which would make him about age 26 in 1923.
He also had a son HERBERT K J CLOVER b1922 Bethnal Green, so this seems to be pretty good, all in the area.
Thank you once again for your response, and interest shown.
Best wishes,
Peter.

Would you mind looking up when James Kensit was a shop holder here please? This is probably James Kensit, father or grandfather of Patsy Kensit ( I can't seem to find any other James Kensit's born around that time, and they loved in Haggeston). They are in my tree and I would like to find out some more information please. It would be good to find out what sort of shop he had.
