Gloving in yeovil

Ewens & robbins

Glove Manufacturers of Alexandra Road

 

The company of Ewens & Robbins was only listed once in Yeovil's trade directories and this was in 1919 when they were listed as glove manufacturers of Alexandra Road in Kelly's Directory of that year.

It is not known which of the Ewens family was connected with this business.

Nothing further is known at this time.
