You have good memories!  I couldn't even remember whether I'd posted it 😂

I knew I'd seen it before. I just searched 'workshop' and your username and found it immediately  :)

George is retired in 1871 aged 72 and Henry is employing 10 men and 3 boys aged 28 by 1861.

Even with eye strain I don't see "Coachman". 
The streak down the signage isn't very helpful in determining whether the L.H. side of the sign has one or two words. Maybe two surnames of a partnership perhaps, but who knows.  I'm pretty sure the first letter of the first word is a large "H"(Hire?)

The proprietor at the end of the sign looks to be an  "F.Chapman"

Does any of the Middlesbrough trade directories give any clues?

How many years would it take for rambling flora to fully cover a roof?  It looks to have been there for many decades.

Apologies Rena, I've only just seen your reply, thank you.

I don't think I'll ever be able to figure out who this man is because the sign is so difficult to read.  When I look at it, I think I can see Chapman, but that might be because that's what I want to see 😳

What country is the photo supposed to be taken in? It could be that it's not in English. Looks like it ends in "Masnān"
I just like to do photo restores.
