I was wondering whether Armstrongs actually could have quoted to do the job not just supply stone ! Cheers Dennis.

WHERE’S HODGE EH! Has he gone on holiday to Allonby or wat ?

5.jpg Yan of “Jazzers” Eh!

Aye Dennis, “Thoos Reet” there was a lot of good lads worked for him, they had some good traffic and a decent fleet over the years with Albions, ERFs, Leylands, some of the first Mercedes in the UK then Scanias.
These images show Johnsons lads leading lime the hard way with a shovel to unload. The pics had spent many years in a drivers wallet I was loaned them to try and restore them via Photoshop., they are vastly improved and visible . I was able to glean more details from County Council Registration Record books in the County Archive Department.
Cheers, Leyland 600.

Beautiful sheeting! Even Dennis would be proud!

Must have been one of the first 111s, didn’t think they came out until R registration.

You sure can “dig them out” Gerald great shots ! ! So which Quarry would they have loaded the lime ? was it for Adam Lythgoe same as Dyavy frae Uldale or did Jazzer buy and sell his own product ? Cheers Dennis.
