What is recorded here

David Irons and Sons Limited occupied 26 Castle Street in Forfar during the twentieth century, a small commercial anchor in Angus. The shopfront likely displayed practical goods for locals, while David and his sons managed the ledger and greeted regulars. Castle Street would have carried the smell of coal smoke, wet wool and pastry, with footsteps ringing on stone outside. The firm names itself on the building, turning a private family enterprise into a public landmark.
