Hi Mick, the Rowes picture was only Garage staff, i would think that Jonny Rock was out somewhere in his “B” series ERF delivering cattle.
Rowes ran three or four vehicles from Handsacre IIRC, yes you are spot on how times have changed!!
Update on Blakeman Motor Services from Tamworth Atkinson mk1 twin steer.
Cab is back the engine runs and sounds a treat.
Restored ERF “C” Series from Tamworth at Gaydon 2012
Briers Waste and Metal Recycling established in 1939 based in Tamworth.
Wm Rowe & Sons from Elford nr Tamworth ran a fleet of cattle trucks which served the midlands cattle markets most of which have now closed. This picture shows GHA 952N AEC marshall with a 505 engine sitting in the rear yard at Elford in the late 80’s.
Wm Rowe & Sons 17-28 Leyland Roadtrain driven by Trink Bott, picture taken in the late 80’s at Elford.
