Description:Manton's shop at 8 Market Street Mews, Rugeley.

The sign on the right advertises his posting business in the yard of the nearby Shrewsbury Arms Hotel, which he took over in 1903. This then had horses, new carriages, dog-carts (rubber tyred). They ran an omnibus (presumably horse-drawn) to meet trains at Rugeley's Trent Valley Station.
