Ralph Carr Opticians

Ralph Carr Opticians was first established by Ralph himself, in 1926, at 101 Church Street where he literally lived 'over the shop'. In 1976, following the 50th anniversary of the increasingly successful St Helens practice a second site was established in Lydiate. Ralph was the first professional optician in this country. The practice he established has been handed down to Ralph's son Allan and then to Allan's son Ian who still works at the practice today alongside his wife Janet.
