General notes

The Booths store in St. Annes was closed in September 2010. This followed the opening of a new larger store in Haven Road, Lytham. Booths had been on this site in St Annes since the 1920s.

"Since June 1847, five generations of the Booths family have led E.H. Booth & Co. Ltd, from its humble beginnings, with just one small shop, to the present day where the company proudly boasts no fewer than 26 modern food stores.

Tea dealer Edwin Henry Booth, then aged 19 years, opened. The China House in Blackpool 160 years ago, having borrowed £80 in goods from the Preston grocer who had taught him his trade."

From the www.booths.co.uk website 10th December 2010.

The mosaic was designed by Claude Harrison and assembled in Italy for the shop front in 1964.
