Dyson, Eton

The Gothic-style lettering used on this doorstep mosaic at the beginning of Eton High Street is quite unusual. Unfortunately I haven't found any information about Dyson's business. In 1883 these premises housed the jewellery shop of Alexander Nehetnias Joseph. Was Dyson there before or after that date? Nowadays 4, High Street is home to the Rhubarb & Custard photo gallery.

William Plummer, Eton

With its uninterrupted succession of neat letters, the name on this mosaic seems to come straight out of a schoolchild's exercise book. Sadly that's the only trace left by William Plummer so I don't know what was on offer in this shop. Stationary for the kids at the school up the road maybe?
