I think this photo was taken in the early eighties obviusly a presentaion / Retirement.
My dad Jimmy Heyes is pictured to the left, just off centre of the photograph (wearing glasses.)
My dad used to think Gullicks couldn't survive
without him.We used to tease him by saying him..
'Gullick Dobson & Heyes.

Pretty sure my Dad, Ken Jameson, is on the very far right, behind the man with glasses. He did work in the chock shop, and he passed away in 2016.
