A view of the Black Lion Hotel, Stockton High Street. Next door at number 65 is Wine and Spirit Merchants, W Graham and Son’s who may at one point have been owners of the Black Lion. In the foreground there looks to be a trailer, possibly horse-drawn selling hardware goods.
What a great photo ! Must have taken an age to set that lot up and then pack it all away later on.
Could this trailer be that of Charles Turner Ltd, Farmer Friends, of Lazenby (1871 – 2010) long established regulars at Stockton market?
