About


Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!

We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia

We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details

Coakes's horse-drawn milk float is decked in flags in this picture taken on the High Street, next to Hayter's.

Although the image looks earlier, it could relate to the end of WWI in 1918. Coakes is listed in Kelly's Directory as a farmer in Stone.
