EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history from 1957, showcasing an Austin FE removal van proudly belonging to Walters Removals in Mexborough, South Yorkshire. The man behind this successful business venture was none other than Frank Walters, the uncle of talented photographer Michael. With four removal vans at his disposal, Frank ran the company until it was eventually acquired by the Barnsley Co-op later in the late 1950s. The image portrays an empty street lined with buildings that reflect the architectural style of mid-20th century Britain. The logo emblazoned on the side of the van serves as a testament to Walters Removals' reputation for reliable and efficient service throughout Doncaster and beyond. Inside the vehicle, one can imagine stacks of boxes and furniture waiting to be transported to their new destinations. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into a specific moment in time but also symbolizes an era when local businesses thrived on personal connections within their communities. It is evident that Michael's passion for photography has allowed us to appreciate not just his family's heritage but also capture a slice of English industry during this transformative decade. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, let us remember how transportation played a vital role in shaping our country's growth and development throughout history.
