Like the pic of the old Morrell’s Brewery Oxford Leyland. i used to work for Flitwick Oil/Esso out of the old Oxpens Depot (Cattle Market) in Oxford just round the corner from Morrell’s, we used to deliver fuel (can’t remember but was probably Gas Oil) to them, you used to fill the tank, then while you went off to get a signature somebody, never knew who, used to put 2 bottles of Beer on your Driver’s seat
. nice little perk that I bet very few get anywhere nowadays

A Commer of Walkers Brewery, Warrington, delivering bottled beer somewhere in Liverpool.
Walkers became part of Tetleys Brewery in Leeds. Ray Smyth.
This scene is late 50s or early 60s. Walkers Brewery ERF delivering to one of their pubs
at Parkgate on the Wirral Peninsular. The land seen across the River Dee is Flint & Holywell
and Mostyn on the coast of North Wales. .Ray Smyth.
By the heck, that’s an unusual pic. The area where the waves are breaking is now completely silted up and the water is about half a mile away. Apparently Parkgate used to be quite a busy port until the authorities decided that Mostyn, on the opposite bank, was a better proposition.
Matthew Brown’s Lion Brewery, Blackburn - Preston Corporation Leyland Atlantean - (URN172Y):
Tetley’s Brewery - Leeds Corporation Leyland Titan PD2 - (UUA207):
Wards of Foxearth had 30 pubs in West Suffolk and North-east Essex. Another brewery that had an excellent water supply. They stopped brewing beer to concentrate on soft drinks some time between the World Wars. The beer was then supplied through various alliances by Taylor-Walker, Ind-Coope, Watneys and Bass-Charrington. Archie McPherson was the driver of there dray for many years and also ran Ward’s off-licence in the nearby village of Bulmer Tye.
