Howard - Coulthard and Wilson went back a very long way,and the lane was named because of the lasts the shoemakers used.
some refs: Mr T.F. COULTHARD - retirement. Mr Archibald WILSON now the sole proprietor. Celebration dinner for the firm of COULTHARD & WILSON (Dover Express 7 Jan 1876, also Feb 18 1876 p.2)
COULTHARD & WILSON: advert for 10 youths to learn the trade (Dover Express 3.3.1876 p.2 col.1) (NB Note the TEN YOUTHS !!! )
COULTHARD & WILSON, Boot & Shoe manufacturers, 5 & 6 Last Lane, and 26 Biggin Street, Dover (PO Directory 1878)
COULTHARD & WILSON, of Dover "Established 1710". Advert for "Castle Boots" (front page Dover Standard Sat Jan 7 1893)
(NB Note it says the business was established 1710!)

Interesting report there with regard to the branch line to the Duke of York's School, I wonder if there are any pictures of the railway loco's or carriages? Also if there are any signs of station buildings, signal boxes, workings, embankments etc

all very interesting kath, is there any link between the original coulthard and wilson and the present shop or are they just keeping the name?

Howard - I doubt whether there is now a family link, (I may be wrong of course!), but they obviously want to keep the name of such a long-established business in Dover.

What a beautiful silk blouse
Interesting they use the word Dozens and not Dozen, I guess the 11'3/4d is our 99p equivalent of today.
