Draper, 42 High Street and 8 David Street

Simon served an apprenticeship with William Little, draper and grocer, in Langholm. He then moved to Paris, where he married Eleanor Woodward from Norfolk at the British Embassy in May 1880.

Their first child was born in Paris, after which they relocated to Langholm, where Simon took over a High Street drapery business in 1882.

The shop has two entrances: 42 High Street and 8 David Street. It is owned by Arthur Bell, woollen mill manufacturer, but Simon owns other properties:

• A house in Rosevale Street, where he lives.
• A shop and house, Market Place, rented by Luigi Pelosi, ice cream vendor.
• A house and stable in Wapping Lane.
• Sorbie Cottage in Drove Road, rented by Christopher Elliot, tweed merchant.
