When did chandler sell his wares?

THIS image from a time gone by shows George Lund’s horse and cart filled to the rafters with stock – but just when was it taken?
LookBack correspondent Ian Swan of Poulton Road found the photograph while looking through a case of artefacts in his loft.
Mr Swan said: “He was a chandler who sold pots and pans and even offered your money back if you weren’t satisfied.
“It was before I was born but I remember my mum and different aunties and uncles talking about it.
“He lived over the road at number 39 but the whole road has changed since.
“I know from my family that he was a nice chap and he went all around the area with his horse and cart.�
On the floor behind the cart are two jugs that Mr Swan believes could have been used to hold paraffin.
But do you know when this picture was taken or what became of George Lund and his family?
If so, call Matt Hurst at LookBack on 01704-398225, and if you’ve got any quirky, interesting or just plain baffling photographs you’d like investigating in Pic From The Past please get in touch!
We would be delighted to hear from you.
