"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."
