By 1911 he must have been working in Leicester, since Benjamin's birth was registered as occurring at 46, Hinkley Road, Leicester where Charles was manager of a Fruiterer and Florist shop. Charles established a Florist's business in Braunstone Gate, Leicester and four of his sons - Stan, Ben, Bruce and Roy - followed him in the trade with their own shops in Leicester.
