Administrative / biographical background: |
M S Gotlop Ltd were civil, naval and military tailors who first appear in the Kelly's Post Office Directories in 1896 at 341 Strand under the name Maurice Gotlop. As M S Gotlop the company moved to 9 Strand where it remained until 1907. At that time the business relocated to 32A Charing Cross, and made a final move to 49 Whitehall in 1931. From Kelly's Post Office Directory it appears that M S Gotlop changed their name to Lidgett & Sons in 1955. The commercial section of the directory lists "Lidgett & Sons (M S Gotlop Ltd)". The company records reveal that there were members of the Lidgett family working for M S Gotlop prior to that date. Lidgett & Sons remained at 49 Whitehall until 1969. |
