Légende
Lyons tea shop, Piccadilly, London, (early 20th century?) A waitress serves her customers. The Lyons waitresses were known as nippies. The first Lyons teashop opened in Piccadilly in 1894, followed by the first Corner House in 1909. Some 200 Lyons teashops opened around the country. Between 1881 and 1914, two million Jews left Eastern Europe, fleeing poverty and persecution. Some 150,000 settled in England, some going into the service industries.
