- Epicgenius, per the article Mr. Kenneth was a hairdresser. Your ALT2 hook says "dressmaker"! MeegsC (talk) 14:41, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
- @MeegsC: Yep. There was a dressmaker at another point in the house's history, so I mixed these up. Epicgenius (talk) 14:45, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
- @No Swan So Fine: Thanks for the review. I have completed a QPQ now. Epicgenius (talk) 14:54, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
