Central Motors in Queen Street, 1960s
Owned by ‘Cass’ Casson before he moved his
business to Wymondham. The light building to
the right (Foxes) has doors onto the pavement
that are now no longer present.
The Fox brothers were Urbane and Fergus
whose father David had a similar business in
Forncett. Urbane died in 1933 and it appears that
Fergus continued to run both the shops for a
while before concentrating full time on New
Buckenham. Neither brother were known to
have been married.
