Hello everybody. Does anybody remember the coal merchant on the corner of Frances Road?
My dad worked there in the 1950s through the 1960s. He started out with a horse (named Oi You), and progressed to a lorry.
Would love to see a photo if anybody has one.
Also my nan lived, when newly wed, at number 22 Lifford Lane, just before WW1.

The coal merchant’s name was Mr. LLoyd. My parents used to have coal delivered by them
Hello,
I certainly remember the coal merchants and definitely the LLOYDS who owned it. – I lived in Frances Road – and yes the correct spelling of the road name is Frances with an E – not as it was spelt for a while with an I – The sign at the top of the road was incorrectly spelt with an I and correctly spelt at the bottom of the road with an E.
