Then a photo of the legend Harold “Big H” Troughton who has ust retired from Croppers
Hi Ste Burrow,
Yes, Harold thats the chap I remember from the green hut at Irlam, did he have shares in it ? lol.
I worked around ■■■■■■■ a lot in those days, I contracted for Delta metals in W-ton and delivered to Ashley rock in Ulverston and Cleator moor and also to psm eng. in Millom, it was a lousy road from Ulverston to Cleator moor via Millom.
Coincidently at one time I also drove an ex. Brady’s Scania 110 HEO 282G !Depending on wether Big “H” was going to use the sheets again would be wether they got folded up “inside out” for the shunter or not !!! Rope, rope, I’ve enough ■■■■■■ rope for two motors !!! Cheers Bewick.
well I know the shunter wouldn’t dare argue with him Dennis!!!

Hello georgeking,
Excelent piece of infomation, very interesting.
As to your question of who Stobarts hauled for in the early years, they hauled mainly slag, lime & aggregates out of Yorkshire & the North East back to ■■■■■■■■ who for I don’t have a clue.
By the way, what did DA Harrsions haul out of Marchon■■?
Regards
