Those were the days! But it was usually quicker to clear Manchester Docks than Liverpool, especially if there was some sort of dispute happening.

Does anyone on here remember a bulk haulier from the Crewe area by the name of John Marsden? I sold him my F10 (YDF 342S) in 1979 and never saw it again which is unusual as all of my previous motors which I sold appeared in some guise eventually!

Hello doby , i can remember North Shropshire in Shotton took steel to the ford transit plant in Southampton and return to Shotton with baled scrap . They had ERFS as well , and i nthink they had the odd dodge too . An old mate tells me that Jones of Cockshutt had most of the work from this area out of lever bros , very tidy fleet would be good to see some photos on this thread thank you Trevor .
Livestock haulier Paul Kidd from near Macclesfield , is photographed as he leaves Hawes Auction Mart loaded with gimmer lambs.
