Today in Brierley Hill

seen leaving aldwarke works just tippers scrap

saw this cat powered foden tipping at willenhall today

This motor is no longer around , it was destroyed by some spiteful jodrell who set fire to it not long after Dennis had finished a major restoration.


420 ■■■■■■■ been driving this pulls like a train once you get in 5th on wards :grimacing:

Foden 8 wheel tipper from RL Noble & Son Ltd of Leeds from around 1992. It had a 265 Rolls and was an ex Tilcon lorry.

[attachment=0]img061 (720 x 480).jpg[/attachmentE.Butler and sons(maltby) were big users of fodens.

Another Foden that RL Noble of Leeds ran.

Bought from an owner driver in Oldham and originally in green.

It was then treated to a new Townend Steel body and was painted in the fleet colours

Noble’s sold this particular lorry 3 years ago and I spotted it last week working on the M25 widening in London
