Hampson's coal merchants

I have been given two trucks for a model railway which purport to be copies of wagons belonging to "D. Hampson and Son, Coal Merchants, Accrington". (My son knows of my devotion to my roots!) There are two different models, no. 1 and no. 2 (surprise, surprise!!)
I cannot trace this firm. Can anyone help me, please?

Pashley.

Re: Hampson's coal merchants

The firm was at 68 Abbey Street David Hampson & Sons Coal Merchants & removals. In 1911 David is listed as a newsagent but in 1922 he is in the phone book as the above.

Re: Hampson's coal merchants

Thanks, anzac! So they were a firm like Woodwards from the bottom of Avenue Parade.
