Sir Winston Churchill, perhaps the greatest orator of the 20th century, is renowned for delivering awe-inspiring speeches, including the legendary “We shall fight on the beaches” address. A startling discovery was recently made at a branch of Churchill’s favorite tailor shop from yesteryear.
Several bank notes dating all the way back to World War II, worth $2.5 million in today’s money, have been found at the location of Cotswold Outdoor store in Brighton, which was formerly Bradley Gowns, a branch of a well-known London-based furrier frequented by Churchill and his wife, Lady Clementine.
