Family Businesses William Barrett Leslie Wood and his brother operated a fish delivery business, Wood Brothers, delivering fish from Newhaven Harbour to Edinburgh. The business first used horse and cart, these being stabled across the road from No 24 Craighall Crescent. It later used a motor van. George Wood operated a garage in Craighall Road, opposite Trinity School. He employed his brother, Stuart. The garage opened in 1929 and remained in business until around 1964. It has now been demolished and flats have been built on the site. |
