Identification

Item: Workers on Penzance Quay with trade vehicle.

Description: A group workers facing the camera with what looks like either a new or reconditioned Thornycroft (vehicle) probably 'J' or 'K' type possibly ex WD, issued to J.H. Bennetts, trade, of Market Jew Street in 1919/20. Thornycroft of Basingstoke and Southampton, moved into the production of i.c. engined vehicles in 1907. 'J' & 'K' types were made from 1913 and about 500 'J's were built during WW1. The 'J' was of 4 ton capacity. The vehicle shown looks to be long wheelbase. The material to be shifted looks as if it is coal and maybe for local mine steam engines rather than domestic use.
