My 1914 delivery lorry was purchaced by Ernest Shentall of Chesterfield for his Fruitiers business.
The Chesterfield section of the Derbyshire records no longer exist.
My fruit lorry was originally registered R-42; unfortunately I am unable to reclaim the registration number. It would appear that Chesterfield issued numbers more than once; meaning R1 was issued to a car and issued again to a heavy motor car in the heavy motor car register.
If anyone can confirm any other early Chesterfield registration number it would be greatly appreciated.
