A lot of people could relate to Maurice. There’s a restaurant like that one here. We would all be lost without them.

Morry and his father Ted used to look after all of our company and private vehicles way back in the 1950’s up to the mid late 1990’s. My Dad Len Newman was good pals with Morry’s Dad right up until they both passed. I still have a lovely condolences letter from Morry when my Dad (Len) passed in 1994. If possible, I would love to get back in contact with Morry for old times sake. Hopefully he’s still alive and kicking! I’m 87 and I think Morry was a couple of years older than me. I don’t know if Mansell St Garage is still going strong, Morry had 2 sons I think who were both in the business so hopefully they carried on the good name of Mansell St Garage. Hopefully, if Morry or either of his sons ever get to read this comment, I can be contacted on the email address given or tel: +447774907205 or +441932 230052.
