Its not easy. I think its an F or L to start with then ends in ess. But the bit in the middle! It seems a reasonable sort of district, son is a clock maker, bloke above a draper and above him wartch maker. Bloke below a silversmith. Are these shops? |

I've had another look and wonder if it is Tailoress, but spelt wrongly as Tayloress. Just a thought. |

Consensus over on FTF is tailoress as well. May be she did some work for the drapers next door? |
