    Notes 
    • Sometime following the 1891 census, Arthur, who was recorded as a Labourer, started a coal merchant's business in the railway sidings at Harrow and Wealdstone Station. By 1914, the business, known as Arthur Wooster and Sons, had relocated to offices nearby as a result of the rebuilding of the area around the station.

      In 1901, alongside his business, Arthur was a Carman Contractor (this was the term used for removals, deliveries and taxis at this time). By 1919, he had branched out and started his own Removals business at 106 Canning Road, Wealdstone. This was in addition to the Coal Merchant's business in the High Street. The removals business must have been very successful, as Arthur employed many men at the yard which was next door to his house. Also next door were stables and a dairy. Arthur kept cows on land in Headstone Drive and had to cross Wealdstone High Street to take them for milking in Canning Road.

      After 1920, Arthur continued to go from strength to strength by becoming a property landlord; buying and letting property in the area.

      After his death, Arthur's widow Emma inherited the Garraway Cab Company which Arthur had run. She turned the site into a market but because of the cobblestones, it failed to attract enough custom for the traders and part of it became an amusement and special displays area. [5]
