AdminHistory | Judah Levy, fruit and greengrocer owned the shop at 197 Roman Road (later 203 Roman Road). He and wife Amella Levy lived behind the shop. The premises also had space for their horse and cart. The building was bombed during the Second World War (1939-1945) so they moved across the road to an empty shop.
Judah Levy was born in Aldgate in c.1886. In c.1908 he married Amelia [also Amella] also born in Aldgate in c.1885.
