Caption
The photograph here is of David Wall Winks, Florence’s father, playing cards in 93 Bridge Street a neighbour’s house. He owned a high-end butcher’s shop at the top of Bridge Street and delivered to the surrounding ducal estates, including Clumber Park and Welbeck Abbey. The Winks shop was directly opposite the Straw’s grocer’s shop, and this is probably how William and Florence met.
