Business ephemera 2

2013 recollections of Melia’s Transport by David Leeming, a former employee of the company.

Clock presented to Austin Melia on his retirement from the Dart & Alexandra Mills, Bolton.

Salmon & Taylor advert about 1920. These were the previous occupants of what Melias later named ‘Gilnow Garage. Occupied until the move to Musgrave Garage after WW2.

Possibly the last piece of promotional material used by the company, a 1949 calendar. The Barnsbury Park, London address was an administrative facility. Operational depots still remained on Crucifix Lane and North Finchley.

David Jack, Bolton Wanderers F.C. Hero of 1923. First footballer to be transferred for more than £10,000 and first to score at Wembley in the 1923 FA Cup Final.
