@RLHerts @lionelwright_ @Knowledgepoint @johnoflondon Hopefully I have described how that loading bay was used for delivery of reels. I remember it so well from the 50s at work with my van driver dad during the school holidays

[John Finn @johnolondon]

@MissSarahWise But your example is from the 50s. I was at school in London in the 1950s and we had school dinners not lunches.
