There was a A.W.Limb (Bill)lived in George Street 1947.He was a general Haulier and had a yard on the allotments at the corner of George Street and Edward Street, it was at the side of the top jitty,(now closed) but was then a continuation of the existing one, it ran from Edward Street up onto Dunstead at the back of the houses in Thompson Street.
I remember he had a new flat lorry, Thames Trader I think,but there was a gantry in the yard with a large van body suspended on which he used to drop onto the back of his lorry which he used for furniture removals.Could this be the one?
I've just found an advert from 1953 which reads: FOR GENERAL HAULAGE AND REMOVALS
A.W.LIMB & sons,LTD.HAULAGE CONTRACTORS.
GEORGE STREET and EDWARD STREET,lANGLEY MILL.
