These advertisements reproduced from editions of the St. Michael’s Church Parish Magazine from between 1911 and 1914 show the vast range of businesses once to be found in Madeley. You could buy anything from a new car (T Dorsett on Park Street offered Crossley, Austin, Belsize, Darracq, Overland, Ford, Alldays & Rovers) to a gas mantle (“The Celebrated Madeley Mantle”, 21/2d each, also from T Dorsett), and choose from any number of grocers, bakers, milliners, drapers, furniture stores — the list was almost endless.
