Does any one remember 2 brothers from Great Harwood who each ran Leyland units they had literally built themselves out of all sorts of scrap that came out of "Motors " ? They subcontracted occasionally out of Leyland Road Services & amazed me with their mechanical knowledge of all things Leyland Motors !! Sadly I can’t for the life of me remember their names !!

Steady on, Robert! It was a 9-speed.
If it makes you feel any better, John Killingbeck swapped the axles for a pair of 2-speed Eaton axles, as well as an 8LXB to replace the old NT-290 ■■■■■■■

In the late 1960’s Tony Brierley was starting his driving career with J. Ironfield from Clayton le Moors. I was a student at the time and my Uncle was Harry Haworth, TM at Ironfields and I worked a few summers there as second man and in the warehouse.
One of my jobs was to bum a lift off one of the drivers to Liverpool and meet up with a couple of six wheelers bringing tea chests up from London into Morris & Jones (Mace) on Wood Street and help them unload onto a lift contraption, bloody hard work.
Harry Haworth was the father of Stuart Haworth, founder of CSH Transport.
I last saw Tony Brierley about 20 years ago when I had become an OD, I am now retired and Tony was a few years older than me but I suspect he may still be involved
