"Here is John Reid, sitting on a Walter K Paton lorry in the WKP yard opposite the West Pier, Granton.  Thomas L Devlin took over the yard from Walter K Paton.

John Reid worked for Walter K Paton and then for Thomas L Devlin.  He worked as a box washer in the 1950s and 1960s.  This photograph was taken around the 1960s."
