W COOK MAKER YAXLEY

Perhaps railway wagon makers for  brick transportation (Peterborough)

but definitely Yaxley
Scan at 300 plus for restores please. Scan at larger dpi for small photos. Don't forget to crop the scanner bed out! (Them's the white bits)
Please feel free to alter any work by me for the benefit of the Poster.
