Can remember the old man telling me about when he used to travel to London with his dad and brothers,to move the bombed out families ,was a days run.Probably spent most of the day in Macs or Jocks :laughing:

Triffic photo, is your old man in that shot? And what’s the wagon? And is Goodenough still going?

Sorry, curiosity gets the better of me sometimes :unamused:

Its me grandfather left of pic, Chas Goodenough who took over the reigns from his dad who established the bussiness in 1899.
The old man wasnt in that shot but here he is in his de mob coat, topping up the rad of his Fordson one brisk morning. Cant decide if thats a radiator cover or a dead horse at the side of the van :confused:


Goodenoughs are still going mate.Albeit in a different form.
One of the family Dave,started on his own in the early 80s and i can remember a big fall out because they said he couldnt use the family name.To cut a long story short, he legally could and D Goodenough removals are still in bussiness - Goodenough &Sons ceased trading in the late 80s.
