Hi a couple more of Rob Rymers pics

First one is a Wimpey Scammell (I think) 483ATL the words written by it say Winchester By-Pass to Compton and Southampton. 153’ long and 126 tons. Fab assembly (Excavator)

Next is a newspaper cutting the caption below the pic reads; An impressive view of one of the two consignments of huge steel girders each 78ft long and weighing 3 tons which are due to leave Winchester for Manchester tomorrow.
The girders 23 in all are being supplied by Conder Engineering Company Limited of Winchester, for a 150ft span building in Manchester.
The two lorries transporting the girders will be escorted by police and will take the whole of Sunday to complete the journey.

Just look at the overhang? Anyone know who did this job?

Regards Pat
