Dunning at the Prince Alfred

.

It took customers at the Prince Alfred Haines street, Nine Elms, just one month to build up this two feet six inch pile of pennies, but they and the guv'nor, Mr William Duckworth, have more ambitious plans for the New Year.

One hundred of the most needy local children will benefit from the customers generosity. The piles will pay for an outing to the circus on January 6 followed by tea in the West End.
