From Peter Trehearn comes this portrait of his paternal grandfather P. T. Trehearn who was in the removals business, wearing a fetching straw hat and accompanied by some of his employees. Peter says that the photo was taken between 1910 and 1914 in West Kinmel Street.
Horse-drawn vehicles such as this were commonplace at the time and gradually faded away over the decades. I could testify that there were still a few around in the 1950s, and one or two made it as far as the 1960s.
