Philip Lawrence Mortimer
Philip's grandson Bob Mortimer notes 'He was as skilled French polisher by trade, but he took over the management of the off licence at 102, Sneinton Dale, from his father in law, Edward Pick, a retired police sergeant. He left the off licence shop, on the presumption that the beer supply from the brewery would be prioritised for the troops, after the war started. He moved his family to 37, Sneinton Boulevard, between the start of the war and October 1915.'
