HANCOCK, Henry

189 Humberstone Road, Leicester
WRLE 1892, WRLR 1894

The 25-year gap seems sufficient to justify this as a separate entry from Henry Hancock, above.

HART, Sidney

The 11 King Richard’s Road address is preceded by ‘The West End Studio’ in WRLE 1892, where an unusually jocular advertisement claims ‘Established 1886’.

WRLR 1909, WRLR 1911 and WRLR 1914 omit ‘Coronation Buildings’.
