0109 "White Rose bus crew building garage". From John Wigley:- "Mother thinks the photograph is part of the White Rose Garages behind the High Street in Rhyl. The Garage fronted onto the Promenade but the workshops and yard were behind and accessed by an entrance on the opposite side of the road to the Plaza Cinema and a little bit neare the town centre. In later years there was a large car park there but it is all covered by the new White Rose centre now. She has suggested that the tall man in the trilby and moustache to the left of the picture might be one of the Brookes family members, but cannot swear to it."
