A mosaic doorstep, Lancaster, England

I've probably passed this dozens of times but never noticed this charming mosaic before: who was Hannah?

@KasTasMykolas Thanks for looking, the stories look plausible (way before my time 😆 )

@foldworks @blag kind of failing to find some publicly available records from "back in the day". I suppose, it's possible to dig a bit deeper :)

@KasTasMykolas @foldworks Given the confirmed address of 17 Moor Lane for this mosaic threshold, the comments on Facebook look to be a case of mistaken identity.

The attached are from the 1912 edition of the Bulmer's directory showing Henry Hannah, bricklayer, at 17 Moor Lane, while Hannah Wharton is a confectioner at number 10.

@blag @foldworks bricklayer makes so much more sense!
