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?
