With all this in mind I thought it would be a good idea
if we could document some of the history of the trade before
it disappears.
I have been promised some photographs old and
not so old so when I get them this is where they will be.
I will be the first to admit that I do not always get on well with the
Evening Post, but this collection of pictures and stories is wonderful.

This first one is of Richard Gardner's grandfather in his cab. I hope we can get
more information on the date , car and so on. I think this is a great picture.
George William Scott ( Feb 1883 - June 1941)
A "T" type Ford cab registration AE 6942.
This looks like the city centre and is that the old Co op building in the
left background.
I think George would need a good coat like the one he is wearing
on the cold wet nights in his open cab.
Thank you Maureen and Clive Hole also to Ms D Scott for allowing me to use this picture.
Morris Trott and Bernard ? (Yogi){ left }.Morris is no longer with us but
Yogi is still well. I remember Yogi getting stabbed in the back through the
seat one night, he ran after the person and caught them even though he was
bleeding. I remember Morris being a happy man with a wonderful smile.
Do you know these cab drivers?
