Public Transport
Public Transport was once by coach and horses - horse drawn charabancs were used into the early twentieth century.
This photo was passed to me but I do not know who it belongs to or where it is taken - if anyone recognises it please let me know.
THE DREADNOUGHT
 |
We do know, thanks to Peter Hurlow-Jones ( a great source of information, thankyou Peter!) about the first bus service in Pembroke. |
Ford's Buses were operated from the North Quay.
Later Silcox buses appeared and are still with us.
|
Miss Jean Williams snapped this Silcox bus whilst boarding the ferry - in those days buses were put on by crane! |
|
There was also a problem getting to the station and some road adjustments were necessary - Ian Campbell tells the story. |
FIRST TAXI SERVICES
The first taxi service was operated by the firm of J & A Stephans of East Back.
|
Later Campbell's garage had a thriving taxi service driving Chrysler cars as pictured below. In the picture is Mr Ron Campbell - his nephew Ian tells the story. |
