Shoes horses as well, assuming the box amidships actually contains shoes.
Do you have a link for that image please, Bruce? A Google image search didn't bear fruit and I'd be interested to know the where and when of it. I'd hazard a guess at London about 1950. Pickfords is still going strong by the way.

Don't know if it'll help, but, here's a TinEye link.

I wish there was a story to go along with the picture.

Thank you, Grav. That's brilliant!
Your second link nails it down... Quote:
That has led me to another picture which is plastered with copyright warnings but viewable here: Link It's an old family firm run by two brothers, one of whom is 'the welter-weight wrestling champion of England'. One more image of Groom Bros at work here... Link As far as the location of the image in Bruce's post #345 is concerned, my assumption is that it is indeed Slough and probably the High Street. I've had a look at Street View but find that it is now a pedestrian area and unrecognisable. The captions describe Slough as being in Berkshire. At the time the photographs were taken it was in Buckinghamshire. There was a local government reshuffle in 1972 (I think) and county boundaries were shifted. The town is north of Windsor on the other side of the Thames so if any of you are going to Harry and Meghan's nuptials in May, you'll be able to nip across the river for the rest of the day and see the place for yourselves. Once again, thanks Grav.

Where I found it there's just pictures with little or no information. I grabbed it because it's a cool picture. I figured it was Britain because the sidecar is on the left, and didn't look like Australia.
