Gerrards Services Ltd (invoices)

One of our regular contributor John T as sent in some very interesting invoices fronm what I knew as Gerrards Garage..  John was lent these by Mark McKenzie of McKenzie Auto Repairs, so thanks to Mark as well.

John pointed out Invoice No.7577 dated November 1958 which made him laugh with the 1 Set of 'Taylor' Made Carpets, at £15-10s, which wasn't a cheep luxury but petrol at 4s 8.5d (approximately 23.5p per gallon or 5.17p per litre) definitely was!

Very interesting to see the prices of such things, especially as I was born in July 1958...

We were sent these in a few weeks back and I was thrilled to see them... I was hoping to find out some information about this garage that seems to be remembered by quite a few of our readers. Please let us know as much about it as possible.... it was in business for many years let there is so little wrote down about it.  Check out those prices by the way... and I wonder how much petrol was back then...  If you can name the cars please do so.

I would have liked to have mentioned who sent these great pictures in... but we seem to have lost quite a few 'Saved' emails... most likely my fault tidying up at 'Daft O-Clock' at night. Please let me know who you are and I of course will update the post to thank you.

Thanks to Janet Davies for the wonderful photos - Very welcomed as always ! :)
