Guest Longbottomt Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Dear Cholbrok Do you by any chance still have those pictures as I would love to get a better copy if possible as my father very sadly recently died and it was his great grandfather and grandfather who ran that business before it was nationalised. Would be very grateful for any help anyone can give on acquiring images for our family scrapbook I am compiling. Many thanks Tamara Longbottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unitedite Returns Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I would not be surprised if this was the same company who were still running into the 60s they also still delivered coal the lorry's were yellow with black sign writing Longbottom and Company were acquired by Thomas W. Ward Limited in 1945, and the new, merged organisation became Thos. W. Ward (Coal) Longbottom Limited. The head office and principle depot was on Harvest Lane, a city office was maintained on Norfolk Row and there were three suburban order offices. They were also agents for BP and Shell-Mex Fuels Oils. Branches also existed in Bristol, under the name of Fishponds Coal Company and Bradford, under the name, Lowmoor Coal Company. The photographs are absolutely stunning by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to show that when you are young and you do not take as much notice of things as I knew drivers from T,W,Wards, Ward Longbottom and Tommy Blacks and I did realise that they under the same management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
