Printed Ephemera — 1932-01-07
Licence, street traders licence
The borough of Stepney issued this street trader's licence to Morris Fisher in 1932. Morris's parents emigrated from Warsaw, Poland to London in the early years of the 20th century. They established a business on Hanbury Street, Spitalfields manufacturing and selling umbrellas, walking sticks and handbags.
By the 1930s the shop had closed, and the premises were taken over by a tailor. Morris became a market trader, and operated a stall in the Whitechapel Road every Saturday selling, rather than manufacturing, umbrellas.
