E J Arnold - Educational Suplies.The plaque is for the business that was started in these premises but the warehouse was in Blayd's Yard. I used to work for E J Arnold, but not there - had no idea that's where it all started; must go and look at that plaque.

My Uncle used to work fro them as a buyer, he always had such great toys to play with which he brought back from various shows. I'm ashamed to say I don't know if Arnold are still going?
