T.W. Gourlay & Co. - Ironmongers

Description

The business was listed in local directories until 1865 but after that there are no records of either the business or its owner. In 1864 part of Ferry Road was renamed High Street. The fact that Gourlay's tokens give his address as High Street and not Ferry Road indicates that the tokens were most likely issued in either 1864 or 1865. The maker of the tokens is unknown, but they are thought to be of British manufacture.
