Hall, James
|
James Hall started his coal merchant's business in 1906 with one horse-drawn lorry and two carts. Coal was collected from Letham, Garibaldi and Carnock Pits and delivered in the Airth area for sale at 12 to 14/- a ton. In 1918 an Overland car was put into use for hire. The following year Halls purchased their first motor lorry - a model T Ford - for the coal trade. Two ex-army lorries were also bought and used for general haulage and road work. This left only two horses. In the 1920s Halls started the first bus service from Airth to Airth Station, South Alloa ferry and the Skinflats Co-op. At the weekends people were taken to such places as the Falkirk theatres. The first transport for the conveyance of the public was a simple home-made shed-like structure placed on the back of a lorry with wooden seats along either side. As the business grew a large garage-shed was built to house the vehicles - there were 14 in use for the coal business alone. In 1928 a petrol pump was installed for the firm's own use. In the mid 1960s the company was taken over by Jim Turnbull, the son of a local farmer.
