Saddlers - Thornbury

Thomas White established his saddlery at in a timber building at 759 High Street, Thornbury in 1887.

In 1891 they built a fine two storey building next door and relocated the saddlery there.

White was to operate the saddlery from that premises until 1905. In later years it served as a grocer and a draper. It currently is operated by Luxe Hair Saloon.
