WE appealed for more information on the Agency For Servants, run by Mary Ann Stroud, once found at 43 Coney Street, York.
Many thanks to Christine Lancaster, granddaughter of the great York postcard publisher James W Arthur, who brought in this picture of Coney Street, giving another view of the agency. She also brought in a copy of Arthur's City of York Directory, 1909, which shows Mrs Stroud's "registry office" at number 43, next to Johnson Brothers dyers and cleaners. We should still like to know more about this business. If you can help, please contact Chris Titley at The Evening Press, 76-86 Walmgate, York YO1 9YN, or on (01904) 653051 ext 337. Thank you.
