THAT FODEN LOOKS LIKE IT TIPPED OVER BY CREEK BRIDGE AT THE JUNCTION WITH NORMAN ROAD , I REMEMBER A CONTAINER TRUCK TURNING OVER THERE , THAT WAS WHERE I GREW UP AS A KID , MY DAD USED TO DRIVE FOR WBS OF PLOUGH WAY ( SURREY DOCKS ), MY STEP DAD USED TO WORK FOR JAMES BRADFORD OF SILWOOD STREET ( BERMONDSEY ) …

HAVE YOU GOT ANY PICS OF THE MARATHON SLEEPER ■■?

You are very right in saying that accident was at the Junction of Norman Rd coming over Creek Bridge Deptford
You will interested to know it was driven by George Briley, who worked for me twice, but in between those times he worked for Jimmy Bradford!
At the time of the accident George was late, as he normally was on Mondays, and left the yard in Bolina Road, loaded with tinned tomatoes for Beck + Pollizer at Belvedere.
George came flying over Creek Bridge when a car pulled out of Norman Road and he rolled it - on top of a transit coming from the opposite direction - two guys walked away from that, unbelievable!
I’d forgotten about our Foden’s both bought secondhand, mid to late seventies.
Happy Days
Tony

One of the firms I remember well, Dafs and Ivecos running out of Ordnance Crescent, probably the only one still running? Maybe Gunns? I’ve been out of London for nearly 4 years now
Gunns went out of business about 2 years ago , Abbey tankers now run out of gunns yard at erith,
did gunns have a place in silver town just up from georges dinner about 26 years ago as the name rings a bell
