Cheers , cattle wagon man.
Hello CWM
Excellent photo marra
Irving’s sold the Morris Commercial last year to David Roper of Moss Bay Metals.
He decided to keep the livery as it is and just change the name on the sides.
One change is that the wagon now has on the bonnet the name of Claude Greengrass, a character from the popular Heartbeat TV programme.
In the story, Mr Greengrass owned a Morris Commercial just like that one hence the vehicle naming
Other more modern Moss Bay Metals lorries can the a name following “Mossbay” (Mossbay Skipper is one example)
Other Mossbay Metals names on their classic fleet include:
Pop (LAO 295E), Greengrass (G196 KUJ) & Jowa (DBA 423L)

Here is Mossbay Millenium
I would agree with you there truckfing marra
I loved watching my grandparents DVD’s of Bill Maynard in that and still do love watching it
Sure it was filmed in Yorkshire somewhere (looks like Yorkshire on the TV)
He was better in that than Heartbeat by a long way
Excellent photo truckfing. I often see Mossbay Millenium by it’s normally pulling a tipper rather than a skip hook loader

There’s nee bad language in it and it was a excellent comedy programme
Wrang end 'ot stick again Marra,I meant what are you doing up at this time of night on the computer,a youngster like thee should be abed,tucked up eh! Cheers Bewick.

Who’s Peter Cochrane?,no one of that name worked at Bewick Transport as I re-call let alone as Transport Manager of which I only ever had one and he was my first employee ,and I was M.D. Bewick.

I see Bewick marra
I’m 18 you know and I’m sure I was on Trucknet after 8.15pm, surely not to late for a little 18 year old?
And anyway, kiddies these days (even as young as 3 or 4) go to bed at 8pm, play computer games and watch TV until past midnight and they go to sleep

Hello prattman
Excellent photos marra
Yes, Dean Auld is still going strong and has recently added some new DAF 105 XF’s to the fleet
As for Peter Cochrane, there a fella out a Penrith called Keith Cochrane who runs Cochrane Haulage, if that’s any relation
Runs a couple of DAF 105 XF’s on tipper work, white and red

No Bewick marra, the tin bath is now a garden planter in the back garden so I couldn’t bath in it !
Never been bathed in a tin one before but we managed to get a set of tin baths at a auction.
Well, don’t worry marra. After doing some research, I don’t think this Peter Cochrane is related to the Keith Cochrane either!
Maybe this Peter Cochrane dreamed of working for your great Haulage company marra and sadly, this dream never came true so after selling up, he said “Oh, I now work at Bewick Transport”?
Heres a two - for - one. Photographed in theCraft` marquee , at the recent ■■■■■■■ Steam Gathering.
A beautifully-painted nameboard by Jim Ashcroft.
The Foden 8 wheeler of Robsons of Carlisle was a familiar sight on the roads through Kendal , before the opening
of the M6 in October 1970.
Percy Unsworth was a sub-contractor for Robsons for many years , and was based in Cartmel.
A bit of nostalga for the likes of Dennis ; Leyland 600 ; and Leyland 680 , and others who remember Percy`s fleet.
Yes CWM really admired Robsons in there day used to take pulp to Thames Board real Robson
Country in its day and yes I do remember Percy with his ERF’s painted in Robson colours take care
Leyland 680:

Percy Unsworth and his family would have been one of Robsons longest serving sub-contractors,there is a photo of Unsworths Guy Warrior 4 wheeler in one of Bob Tuck’s books parked on Dock road in Liverpool,probably in the very early '60’s,the Guy is resplendant in Robsons livery.Wearing Bros. of Flookburgh were also sub-contractors of Robsons in those early years but they sold their “A” licenced motors to Davy& Co (Grange)Ltd. in early '64 IIRC and just continued to run their tippers out of Sandside Quarry.Cheers Dennis.
Hi Bewick, I can remember Percy Unsworh’s Guy Warrior with it flamboyant cab, wrap round windscreen and double front bumpers. The bees knees in those days.

Cheers, Leyland 600
I wonder if Percy has a look at trucknet ? Got me thinking about the Guy,I wonder if he bought it from W. Keith & Son from Flookburgh who were Guy Dealers at that time,and which engine would it have had,the Leyland (probably) or the Gardner.Percy wouldn’t have been “hanging about” so it probably had the Leyland 375,Radio and shaving point ? Cheers Bewick.
This ■■■■■■■■ hauliers well-presented Scania was parked in Brough, a couple of miles from Warcop , over Easter weekend, when I took the photograph. Maybe too far from ■■■■■■■■ Gills hometown for him to expand on any details.

,and I was M.D.
