John Dixon and his son Bill were livestock hauliers and animal feeds suppliers until the mid 1960`s.
They were based in Old Hutton , near Kendal , where son Bill ( shown looking proud in photograph ) still lives.
The Two-Stroke engined Commer was bought new in 1959 , and was still relatively new when the photo was taken.
Stan Stewardson , from Hawkshead , bought the much-coveted " A Licence" .
Cheers, cattle wagon man.

Now why didn’t you snap that licence up CWM right on your patch ? I’m sure they would have accepted payment in Sovreigns !

Me ■■? Hell ,… I was only just into double figures when Stan Stewardson was expanding his business . 
The " A Licences " that my father was more keen to secure were snapped-up by…
No Sovereigns at that time ,…would Green Shield Stamps have been accepted , Dennis ?

Fortunately before your time “CG” is this question I’m about to pose.Now I can see that Kenneth’s colour scheme is nothing like any other ■■■■■■■■ fleet colours,well considering they are mostly different shades of green ! However,I wonder if he ever considered, when deciding, painting and lettering his old motors in the livery of his Grandads firm,J.W. Graham of Bass Lake which in later years was run by his dad and “uncle Puzzle”.Maybe there are family “politics” involved but the motors sure would have looked well in that fine old livery of a quality fleet of yesteryear eh! Cheers Bewick.

Yes Dennis Graham ATKY’S did look well especially the one’s with the ■■■■■■■ in and the stack pipe
up the back of the cab as you no we used to pass right next to there yard on way to siddack with pulp.
Green seemed to be a poplar colour for ■■■■■■■ hauliers
I had a run out to-day over to Alston my good lady has just come out of hospital & fancied the run seeing that it was a nice day for a change, I noticed that Hendersons Garage is still there with their name on , Still looking tidy in its old age I must say, Just like their motors when they were in business, Happy Days, Regards Larry.

I trust your good ladie’s stay in hospital was nothing serious Larry and that she will soon be back to 100% and “bollocking” you up hill and down dale I knew Bob Henderson fairly well and his son Tony,who ran the transport operation from Langwathby,great lad Tony,his brother was a bobby in Kendal for many years,probably retired now.Now Bob was a real character,he used to get about all over the place, they were Rootes Group dealers in Alston and he always drove a Hillman/Humber Sceptre car,he often used to turn up at our garage in Milnthorpe village in the '70’s at lunchtimes with his bag of fish and chips,he could smell a “brew” a mile away eh! But a great bloke to listen to,full of craic and gen about all kinds.Cheers Dennis.

Now for something a bit different, and from Bewick & CWM’s area
A Morris Commercial van in the livery of Cartmel Valley Springs of Flookburgh (this van contradicts its self)
Only ever seen this once the rally scene (back in 2011) so does anyone know if it is still on the go

Never heard of this out-fit “CG”,were they a local cowboy firm from about Wigton ? Bewick.
Thanks for the compliment CG however you are two years behind the times as I sold the ERF to friend with Cameron & Gibbon connections in Torphins Aiberdeenshire in July 2011.
Cheers Leyland 600
Aye they were right cowboys, they had to be as they kept getting ambushed at Levens Bridge then after a gallop along the Prince’s Way were ambushed again Milnthorpe traffic lights and Beetham bridge by a bunch of bandits from down there with red Atkis.

Hello Bewick
Yes, I’ll admit it Bewick, I’ve bought a copy of Eddie Stobart Trucking Songs
Its actually the best CD I’ve bought in a while with some excellent songs
If you’d like Bewick, I’ll send a copy your way to that you can play it when your out and about in your car
Kindest regards

Hello Leyland 600
Your very welcome marra.
I did wonder if you had sold it on as I hadn’t seen it on the rally scene for a while
Do you know if Boyes at Ireby sold on their Volvo F86 as I haven’t seen that on the rally scene since 2009?
Kindest regards
