Comley and Son

Does anybody know where Comleys and Sons, house furnishers, was?

Burges

Ah nice one dutchman, thanks for that.

. . . . and it's still there

Somewhere west of the Burges Seriously, your guess is as good as mine. Depending on the date, it was mostly iron and steel works in that area.

Thanks for that Midland Red, was this the building that is opposite Buttons cafe, as I remember sitting on the second floor looking out the window to a brick built building that had some white writing on the top (some sort of graffiti), said something about Pink Floyd? I can't remember, can anyone else?

This is a better view of its location I can't help you directly with your reference to Buttons

Yes, used to be Argos I think?

Thanks mate, as I say it used to have some writing, I think someone had lent over the roof and painted it on with a brush, as I say can't remember what it said but it was there a few years ago.

This excellent! I have been meaning to ask if there is any info on what the remaining old buildings of Burges/Cross Cheaping were.

Just found this.

Bit of information about the photo. The building to the right of Comley's was the Fountain Inn. The white, gabled building opposite the inn later became the Forbidden Planet and you can see that there was another building and a half before Ironmonger Row. The right side of Comley's was built over the river Sherbourne and was the site of one of the two bridges that gave the Burges it's name.
