I am not related to James Tune, but I would like to be in contact with any living descendants.
My Great Grandfather worked for this soda water company for many years.

Date of the original circa 1890.

From the article …..

The 1890 City of London directory lists James & Charles Tune living at 128 York Street in the same block as the company but on the north side of the street whereas the Soda Works is listed at 145 York Street on the south side. The Fire Insurance Plans for London, 1892 edition updated to 1907, shows the J. Tune & Son, London Soda Water Factory at 132-134 York Street, north side.
