Devon Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 Census lookup-John Samuel Luckes
« on: Monday 04 January 16 19:16 GMT (UK) »
Hi there
I would love to see any photos, especially the ones of the Luckes and Son garage as that was my grandfathers garage he designed it along with his brothers Derek, Alec and William and his sister Nora was also involved. The garage started in Peverell in what was then No 1 Onslow Terrace now Road as a bicycle shop they then moved to crow hill where they bought the garage on the corner of the village shops which until recent years was Kevin Coopers but back then was obviously Luckes and Son. They then moved to the city centre where they bought a bombed out area and designed the Luckes and son garage there which my dad informs me was built on a platform and did not have foundations. I have seen the plans for this in the archives in Plymouth.
We should communicate through email if you are happy to do so?
My dad asked who your parents were 😀
