More details On The Coach Have Been Sent To Me by Peter Marrow From Edinburgh.

William Daniel Squire (Peter's great uncle) from Boscastle was the Coachman. It is believed his youngest son, Ernest Henry Squire, is the young ostler holding the horses at the bottom left of picture. William was known to all as Daniel Squire. He was a coachman in the summer months only & often drove the coach to Clovelly - another great tourist haunt like Boscastle at the time the photo was taken, ( 9July 1913, according to the Royal Institute of Cornwall.) At other times he was a manure dealer (probably guano) & horse trainer and dabbled in the 'Coasting' trade out of the little harbour at Boscastle. Daniel was one of ten children of Peter's great grandfather James Squire - the last flour miller in the village. James was successively at Otterham Mill, Jordan Mill, (just up the hill from the Wellington)  & finally at Bridge Mills which still forms such a fine central feature of the lovely valley next door to the Wellington hotel, by the bridge. Peter, who used to blow Daniel's Coaching horn when he was a small child, would be very pleased to hear from anyone who knew any of his Boscastle Squire family connections or maybe from a local historian. Can you help?
Please note:
I have been reliably informed that in fact the Coachman was Daniel Hockin and NOT Daniel Squire.
Daniel was the Brother in law of Iris Hockin.
