Help Needed

on: January 03, 2017, 03:47:06 AM

Hi guys and girls.

I have joined as I am having trouble identifying a piano which is in the house I moved into.

It has the markings "Merrington & Sons - South end on Sea - Est 1882"

I have tried to google this but absolutely nothing comes up, I am not interested in money or anything, it's in poor condition to be honest but if it has some historical value I do not wish to just dispose of it.

If anyone could help identify the maker or anything I'd be most grateful.

Regards

Ben

I see Merrington Bros of London established 1882. Not sure if this helps.
