i have a photo , from an old magazine article, which features a young Chaplin as part of THE LANCASHIRE LADS.
My Great Uncle, louis Cottam, was part of the troupe. He ended up on the Australian theatre circuit in the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. He also features in one of the photo’s above.
if you would like a copy, i’ll email you the image.

In the photos you show the Godfrey & Phillips cigarette factory on Commercial St, they made cigars and cigarettes including Abdulla Turkish cigarettes, Red & White and Black & White. My father worked there continually from when it opened in the 1930s till 1962 apart from his war service 1939 to 1945. He used to bring home rolls of scrap silver foil from the packets which I used to take to the Essoldo cinema on Bethnal Green Rd and usually won a free ticket for the next week by bringing the most foil.
