Pitchers (Caffe Nero)

Pitchers (Caffe Nero), 91 High Street, Godalming, Surrey, 2016 • Attractive ghost-step for a knitwear emporium, now leading to a Caffe Nero. Pitchers was a sports sweater manufacturer founded in the 1880s by Lucy Pitcher, who pioneered innovative knitting machine techniques; Jaeger bought the business in the 1940s and it was closed by the 1970s.
