| My father Herbert Shield migrated from England in 1927. The Shields had lived in Filton, near Bristol, and operated a large laundry for many generations.
Photos - above Filton Laundry. To the left of the laundry is Laundry House, the family home of the laundry manager. My father grew up in this house. Right from top The grandparents I never met, Alice and Herbert Shield. I visited Filton in 1999. At that time Laundry House was occupied by Lloyds Bank. It has since been demolished. Behind it is a shopping centre known as the Shield Retail Complex, on the site of the old laundry. Page created 21 September, 2003 © copyright John Shield 2003 |
