General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I think I have read in post elsewhere on here that when Elizabeth Wilding moved from Market Street to Mesnes Street, (and also opened a string of shops across the North West) The name was truncated to 'Wilding' or 'Wilding's'.

I had left the district by this time, so do not know if Wildings Stationers were still trading. If so, there would have been two retailers in town centre, operating different business, both called Wilding(s).
I don't know if they were related/same family.

I had used Wildings a lot as they did things like bookbinding, and you could get materials such as adhesive 'Linsen Fabric'.

Never come across a better stationers in all the years since.
