Big demolition company from Palmersville forest hall Newcastle
I come along great lime road and most times you would see the low loader parked on/off. the road beside
the bungalows,and think what`s that doing there.Looked good when they got the Scania unit from the old dodge or was it
a leyland lad cab unit?. -
I’m sure there are one or two of Blacketts on the Northeast thread including the Scania. Coming from Longbenton it was a common sight to see Blackett vehicles, a walk up to the chippy at Forest Hall (much better than our local shop) was a regular occurrence as a teenager with my mates and being keen on Lorries I always took note of any that passed by and Blacketts were usually quite tidy for Tippers. Franky.
A couple of Blacketts from different eras from the Northeast thread, may have to look further back for the Scania unit!
NMP, But a good one of George Blackets Scania,Regards Larry.
