Toy Company in Glemsford: a query

Kevin Frazer is looking for information on the makers and/or sellers of Annetta Soft Toys.
"I have a large hand-sewn soft toy (bulldog) standing 51" high. It was made (or rather sold) by Annetta Soft Toys of Egremont Street, Glemsford, Sudbury, Suffolk. The label is overstamped Haverhill Suffolk, so I presume the cottage industy moved.
Is this business known still in the area? I am told the dog "teddy" is around 50 years old plus or minus 10 years."

I have no immediate information about this company, but can anyone out there help?
Replies through me, please.
SC
