From Peter Trehearn comes this portrait of one of his ancestors wearing a fetching straw hat, 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.
Thank you Peter, nice picture. The horse may be barely visible but I’m sure to get some fan mail for it.
