CONERON AND LEEMING is one of only 25 shops in the country which boasts a display of Heredities bronze figures. The sculptured figures — lions, tigers, dogs, eats and other animals in motion — are examples of a new bronze casting process developed a few years ago by the, Cumbria firm of Heredities. The’cost of the figures ranges from £5, to £170 for an example by the distinguished Austrian sculptor William Timym. But whatever your buying power, the exhibition


is well worth a visit. , ," " / k 1 $> <v > a v v v TV r- *> . *<? > . „-5 •■ - ' , - r . * ' < * • ■ - - 0 I0 'Hf)

site for his business — but further down the street than


' the present shop — at No. 47. He found that trade was brisk and when the premises at No. 17 became vacant, in 1898, Mr Coneron moved shop.


Partnership The shop continued to


prosper and Mr Coneron’s daughter Mary— by his mar­ riage to Miss Elizabeth Rudd in 1890 — passed examina­ tions which entitled her to practise as an optician. She joined her father in
