Stanbeth House: C. H. Furness & Company leased the building until the 1970s. The name Stanbeth House was probably derived from the middle names of the subsequent leaseholders, William Stanley McConnell and Nancy Elizabeth McConnell. – BritoMart dot com

I am delighted to find this photo. I am busy researching family members who left England for New Zealand. ie: Robert Furness, Christopher Haswell Furness, and Houghton Robinson, their marriages spouses and children, any information about them all. I believe that Christopher’s sons Wilfred and Roy may have been employed in their father’s company. Are there any photos of them too?
This is the only shot of this sign my friend sent me. We document signage.
