Wilson Brothers Bakery van in Manchester Street

1920s

This is my grandfather's bread delivery van. It is thought to have been the first bread delivery van in Christchurch. My father (Francis Wilson) is standing in front of the van. The bakery was in Buffon St, Waltham, Christchurch (no longer standing). I don't have an exact date for the photos but my father looks to be around 18 months - two years & he was born in October 1926.
