Herbert Christopher In The 1930s
Herbert Christopher continued in business on the east side of Deverill Road, Warminster, from circa 1930 onwards, with two shops.
One was a cobbler’s (seen in the photograph above), and the other was a fish and chip shop.
When local people called at Mr. Christopher’s boot and shoe repairing premises, they were fascinated by the way he used to hold a handful of nails in his mouth, removing them one at a time as he mended soles. He would hand-sew soles on to boots.
He never took a holiday and often worked until late at night, only closing on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
