W & C Forth

W & C Forth, 13 Waterloo Square

An old established printing and stationary business started in 1835 by John Forth and taken over by his sons William and Charles Forth. Charles was the printer and William was in the retail shop. John Warcup bought Forth's in 1976, down Deans Lane and moved to Market St. in 1980 until it was sold in 1999.

William Forth stood outside his shop in June 1890, Charles Forth ran the printing side of the business.
William married Frances Fryer in Pocklington in 1845.
(Frances was sister of Edward Fryer the Pocklington clockmaker)

Forth's were in Market Street in the 1980's and 1990's
