Details

Established in the late 1870s by Samuel Gush, father of Charles Gush, the business began as a baker and grocer in Exminster, Devon, before expanding into General Merchants. Over time, the company diversified its services to include the collection of coal from local railway sidings and distribution by lorry, providing essential supplies to homes and businesses across the region. Operating through the 1950s and 1960s, the Gush enterprise became a well-known local trader, reflecting the important role of small independent merchants in supporting both everyday needs and the broader coal and freight distribution networks of mid-20th-century Britain.
