Item 13 - Receipt for paint supplies

Eaden Lilley was founded in Cambridge as a haberdashery in 1760, and was renamed Eaden Lilley in 1839. It was based on Showmakers Row, and later moved to Market Street, selling linens, drapery, hardware, and oils for lighting and heating. By the 1880s, there were further branches in Sidney Street and Green Street. By the early 1900s, Eaden Lilley - now described as a department store - offered other services, including removals. In 1934, they moved the contents of Cambridge University Library across the city (presumably when the current University Library was opened). The Cambridge Eaden Lilley store closed in 1999, but the business continued to operate in other areas until it went into administration in 2009.
