Well done Dottie, you must be over the moon, hey but don't forget to come back to earth

Seriously though you must be sooo excited. I'm really happy for you

Catch up time

...had an op on my foot, so been out of circulation for a while, spending short periods of time on here...

Good news on the charanbang, one person now known, their young relative is now in touch with me, so hopefully I can learn more as time passes.......

The photograph was also entered into a Monthly Charabang Newsletter, nothing back from that yet sadly..never mind.....

Hi Dottie,

Hope your feeling a little better after your op.

Never mind No News is good News so they say.

received some more information today, every little helps....

from Croydon Local Studies.....

We have a small file about C. Taylor & Son whose registered office was at 35 Grant Road , Croydon. They also had offices at 119 High Street , Croydon and 140 Church Street , Croydon. They provided coaches for private hire for excursions and tours (like annual outings, picnics, race meetings) to places like Brighton, Windsor and the Surrey Hills, amongst many other places. They also provided a motor removals service.

Most of the information we have about them is dated 1920s and 1930s-most of it adverts from street directories and newspapers.

I realise this doesn’t really help narrow down the date of the photo or identify anyone in it but I hope you still find it useful
