If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
It was a common site to see John Adshead cycling to work from Gawsworth New Hall to the Lonsdale & Adshead brewery on Park Green Macclesfield. There was a driver and car available at the house, but it was usually the bike that got John to work. The dogs ! No they were not running alongside the cycle, they were tucked into John's coat. The brewery was sold in 1950, about 10 years before this picture was taken.
