An early photo of Holbeach Fire Brigade on a Horse & Cart. Undated
Can anyone help identify the year or the names of the Firemen ?

Hi
My Great Grandfather George Henry Squires served in the Fire Brigade. He was landlord of the Talbot Inn Holbeach in the 1890s and early 1900s. His daughter had a large photograph of the Brigade on her wall which may have been this one. I remember seeing it as a child. He met his wife Edith Law when she played piano in one of the Holbeach pubs which may have been the same one they stabled the horses for the Brigade which I imagine is the one in this photograph.

Thanks for memory. Regards Geoff
