Samuel White - Bootmaker

414 High Street, Preston (1879 – 1887)

Samuel White set up his boot making business in a small weatherboard building on the east side of High Street, just north of Wood Street.  The building had previously been operated as a butchers shop.

Samuel was one of several White’s operating businesses in High Street Preston during the 1870s and 80s.  Thomas White ran a saddlery business in South Preston and William White was a butcher, also in South Preston.  It is not known if they were related.
