Dont mind at all mate , the more the merrier as far as i am concerned, got any more pics?
Hi Members
I have been interested in H.G.Brown & Son International Transport for many years,I have been researching the history of the company for many years, with the help of Pentus Brown ( who has sadly passed away).
The work I have carried out dates back to 1792, the work will be published when completed I have had help from the family and past employees as well as local records.
The Brown family have been very influential in road haulage in Leighton Buzzard and Bedfordshire.
the company is not involved in transport now but many local road haulage companies have connections and root that go back
to H.G.Brown & Son.
I would be grateful for any input to help with my research and help towards the completion of the book .
Thanks Martin(mackv8)
