Podmore, George (1824-34)

Podmore, George, Eastgate St, Chester, u and cm (1824–34). Free 16 October 1824. In March 1833 advertised that he was selling off the entire stock of Podmore & Morris ‘at prime cost’ from the shop at Hotel Row, Eastgate St from which they had traded before the business ceased. He had on offer ‘Cabinet Furniture of every description, looking glasses, carpets, druggets, hearth rugs etc’. His involvement in the sale of this trade stock suggests that he was related to William Podmore, one of the partners in Podmore & Morris. [D; freemen rolls; Chester Courant, 26 March 1833]
