1940/50's We used to play in a garden on George Street, about half way up on the left-hand side,I think the childrens names were John and Jean Hallam,they were related to Knowles.In the orchard at the top of the garden near to the jitty in Thompson Street was an old lorry body with J.W.Knowles sign written on the side,I'm fairly certain that this was where Knowles lived.I know they had an haulage business in 1924 and operated from 33,Cromford Road,Tel.65.Their family were friends of my Grandfather.I have an old photograph of a Sunday School parade going along Station Road in the early 1900's and a lorry of J.W.Knowles is following.Bill Limb (A.W.Limb Haulier) lived almost opposite Knowles in George Street.
