(20 River View) Reginald W Suttle
1981
(20 River View) Reginald Suttle was interviewed by the CWN (23.4). He and his wife Dorothy had lived at no.20, River View, for more than 40 years. Mrs Suttle remembered that Victoria Bridge was opened on the same day that her parents were married. Mr Suttle’s father was a shipping agent in Fitzroy Street. He went with his father to have lunch on the Titanic in Liverpool the day before her tragic maiden voyage.
River View in 1981 was the property of the Co-op Soc. The Suttles used to have a garden of roses and dahlias behind the big house that was replaced by Barclays Bank.
