That pic was taken just after andrew barker at pikehall bought it! we took the steel body off and fitted an alloy body, it was then painted and run out of ivonbrook quarry, its been gone a while now not sure where it went, if i remember right you had a new one in the same colour moving them big lumps of stone about
It’s a small world isn’t it!
I don’t remember running any big stone around to be honest - but I may be wrong.
Dad ran a fleet of Foden’s at one time. All relatively newish ones, so you may have seen them knocking about the North.
Most of our work was done in Yorkshire though (based in Leeds and Bradford) - with the odd foray outside God’s County 
Anyway, I’ll dig out some pics and post them up when I have chance.
Cheers
The last Foden to be assembled now resides in the British Commercial Vehicle Museum, Leyland.
An 8 wheeler tipper chassis , it is owned by Paccar , and loaned to the Museum for display.
Cheers, cattle wagon man.

I suspect the Foster and the Lamport where both owned by Wm Armstrong but as for the Freelands, I don’t know the last owner.
Will try and do some digging

Lamport came from just north of Northampton, didn’t last too long. If I remember correctly they had a couple of those rubbish bulkers turn over.

Is that a comment on the quality of the trailer or it’s contents?
