It’s about time we had another World War 2 item on this blog.Mr J. H. ‘Lippy’ Lipman who ran a jewellery shop in High Street has cropped up in previous posts. The picture above includes the man himself; he is the dapper gent in the foreground on far right. The photograph, which shows locals meeting Polish refugee children at Rhyl Railway Station, is from the collection of Peter Trehearn.
Lippy was known as ‘The Wire King’. He had a jewellery shop in town and a kiosk on the prom opposite Queen Street where he would cleverly bend wire into names or pictures, and create bespoke jewellery at great speed before your very eyes.
