Gwen was a daughter of Peter Taylor Jnr who was the Publican at the King William IV public house in Vantorts Road (1911 census), where in the early days (pre 1906) the Manual fire engine, together with the horses were stabled.   ==========================================================================   Notes (&) on the reverse of many of the photos augment the existing photo information on the SFB History Web Site of which the latter were, in some cases, lacking specific information or dates etc. which is included here where the information is available.
