Description: | Two Lickfold brothers and their wives ran the Garage and single hand-operated petrol pump next door. Eventually the brothers built a much larger garage in Crabtree Lane (later known as Tonard's), but the petrol pump still remained, and little Cecily Lickfold braved all weathers, at any time of day, to answer the toot of a horn. The shop was then run by Miss Stenning, whose brother was a baker, selling bread, cakes, confectionery, cigarettes, haberdashery, toys and newspapers.
On the back of this card is the message: -Quiet time, done nothing to-day except eat. I could stick this a lifetime, but it will hardly be always like this. We have received our mobilization, boots & other equipment. I hope Elsie & you and all at home are well, as this leaves me the same at present. Your own Fred. Posted 13th September 1915 to Mrs Cullough in Co.
