Further details
Mr and Mrs H.G. Loose were retailers in Looe, Cornwall. They owned two shops, either side of the river in East Looe and West Looe, retailing electrical goods, gramophone records and toys by Britains and Dinky. Both shops were established during the 1930s, the larger shop in East Looe stocking most of the toys. Mr and Mrs Loose both worked in the shops up until the business closed in late 1957
