Streets Coaches, Hertford.
« on: Sunday 08 July 12 20:31 BST (UK) »
Hiya,
Does anyone have any idea what was written underneath the Streets Coaches sign in the picture included here.

Bit of a tall order but I thought worth a try.

Many thanks.

Hi folks - long time, no see  ;D
Hope you're keeping well

Sorry, even with the larger image I can't read anything worthwhile  ::)

I can see the word "Betta" I think, but nothing much else. I don't suppose a scan of just that building is possible - with higher res??

Any idea of the date of this pic or if the building is still there today (poss Google street images might help in that case)

Maybe moving this to the Deciphering board might give a few other ideas as well

Good luck

Di

Hi Di,
Thanks for the try, and it is a really tricky one. Ant thinks its something about coal, coke and wood but we thought someone might remember. Good idea on the deciphering board. I think its 1930`s.

Hi Di

I have put it on the deciphering board * so we will see what happens, I am doing some research into coach operators in Hertford, Ware and the local area so if anybody has any pictures of Streets, Dyes, Cannons or any other local operators I would be pleased to see them or any pictures from Thurgoods the coachbuilders!

Think I have most of the pictures that are generally out there on Flickr or whatever, but hopefully there are some others out there?

Thanks

Hi Anthony :)

Possibly "[something] COKE & WOOD MERCHANT"?

John Richard Street was a Coal Merchant, 26 Ware Road, in the 1914 Directory.
