Frank Nickless - Transport.

1900s

Frank Nickless is pictured here in the driving seat of one of his brakes.  He provided a service with his transport and advertised his businesses as follows: “F. Nickless - Coal Sold Here - Brake Hire & Private Parties Accommodated”.  He carried on his business from his cottage which stood near the junction of Bridgnorth Road and High Street.  The next door cottage became the site of William Edkins’ Repository, later the site of Wollaston Garage and now where Aldi Supermarket was built.
