Hi, I have been told that my grandfather and Great grandfather both worked for a Transport Company, in Mitcheldean back in the 1920's. Have been told the companies name was either S W Little or T W Little. Is there anybody that confirm that there was such a company as I cannot seem to find any info. Thanks to anyone that can possible tell me anything reference this.

In the later 1860s the vestry lit the town with gas supplied by the Mitcheldean Gas Light and Coke Co., which had been formed in 1865 and which built its works east of the town in Brook Street. (fn. 130) The works, which passed into private hands before 1897, supplied gas to shops and houses in the parish and to the Wilderness. (fn. 131) At nationalization in 1948 they ceased to manufacture gas but were used for storage until c. 1970 when the site was incorporated in the Rank Xerox factory.
