Hi Ella

Many thanks for submitting, and hope you are finding the site useful.

Alfred B Pearce & Co Heathcote China of 39 Ludgate Hill were not china makers but London retailers 1866 to 1940. Did they survive the London Blitz? Doesn't look like it, sadly. To me an interesting collection, with a story to tell. Personally, I like it and think it rocks.

Do not under sell its value. Should it be in a museum? In my opinion, there can't be many of these services left around. Certainly, this is the first query on this mark I have ever seen, so be sure to look after it.
