knightstemplar Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Bassetts founded 1842, see Cadbury's Schweppes so anything after that. Does it have a phone number on the bottom of the trailer? Looks about 1900 to me. Anyone else got a clue. Very interesting site. Didnt realise Dr Pepper and jelly babies were that old. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 FYI Geo Bassets, 1927. 54 Portland Street. Telephone Sheffield 22344 Garage only, Burton Street. Telephone Owlerton 43440. 1928 and 1932 - exactly the same. 1936 same as above plus Beulah Road, Owlerton 43031 Maybe we should just ring 'em ? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield History Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Did Bassett's ever move to trucks/vans for deliveries? If so - anyone got a photo of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
