Standing left to right are Frank Pratt, Bert Gelsthorpe (the joint owners) and Jack Whitely. The business was founded in 1919 and is still operating today (July 2008). When this picture was taken, c 1929, P&G were agents for Douglas and Ariel motorcycles - one of the latter being seen here. Extending the business to vehicle maintenance in 1928, P&G became agents for Austin motor cars. They continued as Austin agents for fully 54 years until January 1988 when they became agents for Peugot vehicles - in which role they continue today.
