I remember this well as I would walk past here as a child in the early sixties on the way to my Grandparents who lived in Stanley Street. At this time Walker’s also ran a wedding / funeral car hire service. These cars were garaged in the large workshop that is set back on the right of the image. I was fascinated with all things automotive, and clearly remember nearly all of these hire cars were large black Humber’s, Pullman’s, Imperial’s and Super Snipe’s.
