Silcox Motor Coach Co Ltd, were for many years Pembrokeshire's largest passenger vehicle operator, at their peak operating no less than 74 vehicles on local services, contract services, private hire, tours, excursions and holidays extending to all parts of Great Britain and Europe. The humble beginnings of this well renowned family concern began in 1882 when William Luther Silcox migrated from Trowbridge, Wiltshire to open a saddlery business at the new military town of Pembroke Dock. The business at Water Street slowly expanded to occupy adjoining buildings when he became a cycle agent and later a motor cycle agent. This publication gives a succinct history of the business which has previously never been told. Its 300 pages are illustrated with 430 photographs and other informative memorabilia covering the period, arid has been produced as a tribute to the Silcox family and their devoted staff.
