An amazing picture, Skeets, do you know what year this was taken? What's the story about your father, was he the driver, or did he own the coach....? Tell us more please.

Excellent picture, Thanks for sharing.

Tinker's :

Charles Tinker, Boot & shoe maker, 16 & 18 High Street (Kelly's 1893)

Does that fit in at all with your age/your Father's age ?

Now that's what I call history. I assume it's the same J, Tomlinson who provided funeral services and wedding cars in Sheffield?

Please pm me if you want info on posting photo's. The most common problem seems to be trying to upload pictures that are over the 2Mb limit.

We've a very robust anti-virus system and infinite disk space. We'd rather have "stuff" posted than not.
