October 2016 Biographical details added

Coach & Horses on the Esplanade

In October our busy research team added 27 biographical records to names on the website, including that of Mr Harry Williams.  At a young age Harry owned his own horse and chaise and by the age of 18 was a fully-fledged licensed carriage driver. Later he would reminisce about when he had taken visitors on tours of the Island in his coach and horses. (click on a name to go to a file)
