Arthur Linfoot’s family bought a shop and house in Eldon Street, Sunderland in early 1915. They appear to have relinquished control of the shop to a Mrs Hewitt later the same year, although they retained the house. See also Sunderland map.

Finished rather late at work. Walked round the town with our Charlie and met Dora’s Charlie in town. Came home with him and talked about enlisting. Walked out with Willie Whittaker at night and went up to the top of Chester Road. Looked in the free shop we are interested in and there was very little trade doing. At Trinity1 lecture on the emotions and enjoyed it.
