Two competitors on the same street merged to make the business
It's been 15 years since a Victorian-era shop that sold "all sorts of oddities" in the city closed its doors for a final time.
Back in August 1981, the Liverpool Daily Post reported how the shop had undergone a refurbishment, but still maintained its "old world atmosphere." The article reads: "Nests of shelves climb up the walls; neat little cupboards and spaces are tightly and tidily packed between them. On August 28, 1998, the ECHO reported the change and also gave insight into what Tutill-Nicol was like at the time. The article reads: "The store still stocks pen nibs, blotting paper and sealing wax. It also stocks ledgers and specially account books for book-keepers who still do their accounts the old fashioned way."Fountain pens - and even an in-house engraving service - is also available.
Sarah Smith at the time had worked at the shop for 10 years. She previously said: "It’s the end of an era. Our loyal, regular customers are absolutely devastated. And legendary Liverpool solicitor, the late Rex Makin, whose offices were located in nearby Whitechapel, said: “I was a regular customer there and will miss them. It was a unique place and sold all sorts of oddities. Tutill and Nicol were nice old gentlemen but, like everything else, antiquity goes."
