Following on from David Hughes’s 1960 photo of Slaters – The Earl’s Court of North Wales – and this post about the same engine, here’s a photo sent by LL22 of Abergele’s old fire engine. It’s owned by Colin Knowlson and you can just see Colin behind the wheel here as the engine’s filled up at the Bee Filling Station.
