The original ones were removed during the War. Fabulous place and they have their pattern book online which makes an interesting read.

Thankyou and regards

James Hoyle’s father ( Thomas Holt Hoyle) walked from Manchester to London to start a new life there. The Manchester Hoyles, of which I am one, had no idea that there was a branch in London until recently. It is wonderful to find out about this firm and to see that it is still going strong and still owned by Hoyles. Wonderful! Linda Fletcher
