ET Walls was a wine and spirit merchants, they were on Hanover Street where they had a shop and warehouse, also in the 1960s/ early 70 they had a bonded store on Cooke lane roughly where W H Smiths are located now. The shop on Hanover Street closed in the late 1990s I think,

I remember E T Wall's Navy Rum vividly.
On a winter night in the 60's nothing could beat a rum and pep, or a rum and blackcurrant at the Vaults after a night at the Tech

I don't remember the bonded warehouse, but I clearly remember the premises on Hanover Street near to the Wellington.

I worked with Francis Feeney who told me that he worked at ET Wall, something to do with the rum in bulk I remember him saying. Also in later years I had contact with Mr Eckersley (spelling?) who was a director their and lived at Steeton.
