Wharfside

My grandfather was an apprentice cabinet maker in Hackney in London's East End in the very early 1900s. He taught my father what he knew and then my father was himself apprenticed as an upholsterer in Shoreditch in the 1930s. He started his own upholstery company after he was demobbed from the army in 1946 in Curtain Road in Shoreditch and then started Wharfside Furniture importing Danish Furniture just around the corner in 1962. He then moved the showroom into our present building in Buttesland Street in 1965.
