Love this quilt - in the small photo, the centre looks like it has quite a wild print.<br /><br />It would probably be fairly easy to find out some more about Annie Davies or at least the draper's shop. Some of the shops on Chalybeate Street in the 1980s had been in the same hands for generations (I lived very close by when I was at university in Aber). The Cambrian Museum has, as far as I know, Mrs Evan's collection (which used to be displayed in the first floor of Aber railway station and in various old closed shop windows around that area & towards High Street) - this included a treasure trove of ephemera about life in Aber, including a lot of stuff relating to retail history in town - logoed paper bags from shops, receipt books, that kind of thing.<br /><br />Had a look at Chalybeate Street on Google streetview after seeing your post - looks like the hardware store that used to sharpen my sewing scissors 25 years ago is still there.
