PART SIX - Question 3

In this part I attempt to answer the third question I set myself in PART ONE:

[3] What happened to Scott Bonnar's Bloor Court business? Why start a new business (with Brother Malcolm)
in 1920, and move premises to the outskirts of the CBD (Chapel Street)?

This is another self-imposed question inviting reasoned speculation. Bloor Court was small enough
to only contain a few businesses. Some were at ground and/or basement; others occupied the second
floor of buildings. All these businesses were at the rear of three large Currie Street buildings
located on each side of the entrance to Bloor Court - Thomas Hardy & Sons (spirit & wine merchants)
on the left side; Wilcox, Mofflin, Ltd. (wool & skin merchants) and S.C. Eyles & Co. (importers and
commission agents) on the right side.

Scott Bonnar was at Bloor Court for about two and one half years: (1917-1919). 'S. Bonnar' is listed
only in the 1918 Directory, where the business is stated as being 'motor and general engineers'.

Note that in the final year (1919 Directory), the S. Bonnar premises have changed to be listed as,
'Atkinson & Co, machine shop'!
