Amhurst Rd Hackney is in Dalston.just past Ridley Rd market It used to be a big part of the East End Rag Trade, sadly most of it has gone and the buildings are now flats.My nan was a hat maker as well in the 1920's. if you would like info on it Hackney Arcives might have something.

In 1930? Do you know the name of the company? You could do a google search with that address you have plus something like Milliners/hatters
