Confronted by insurmountable problems I must, without further delay, sadly and reluctantly close both town shop and factory. I will reopen Hunter’s Lodge as soon as possible. These daily ‘pieces’ have, ironically,  brought in a volume of business sufficient to sustain us but staff and labour problems (black and white!) have not been overcome.
