Transport Through the Ages

[fred1951]

Hi Paula Thank you for deciphering the writing on the post card, It looks like the word rhod**** is probably a made up name taken from his surname Rhodes

Hi Sallysmum and Fred I love your pics, yes it does seem bikes were all the rage back then. Heres one of my grandmother in a sidecar.

Will pass on the message to him - but they have a busy weekend ahead - Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza weekend plus a Transport festival!

Nor had I heard of Arrol Johnston! I think it was a scottish based firm - now long gone!


Have added a photo of my Grandma Sutton - died before I was born, photo probably 1930's/1940's - I know nothing about the car!

Thanks Paula

Here is one of two pics the other pic doesn't show any transport

This one is slightly more modern but it makes me smile- it shows Great Uncle's car parked outside the Air Ministry in Kingsway with a new German "thing" strapped in the boot. The chap in the top-hat is giving it a really snooty look. Uncle H. took it in April 1942.

I could well be wrong but it looks like the Red Lion in Shrewsbury (we went there on our honeymoon)
