I’m just wondering if that was the firm that had a yard at the ‘smithy’ next to the shop. There used to be a plot where the new estate is. Our brother remembers them, but I can’t. I’ll ask him when I see him next. There used to be a guy called Hughes, had the caravan delivery lorries opposite where cecil’s yard is. Our dad worked for him in the '70’s. The buildings are now derelict.
I saw these the other week, It’s been well overgrown for about as long as I can remember. looks like someones been busy…

A432 Badminton road, between Coalpit Heath and Yate…
Talking of derelict trucks, there are several (including Bedfords) beside the M5 between J13 and 14. It looks like the site was an old station goods yard as te goods shed still stands. Possibly now a skip yard??
Did you have yer passport stamped when you ventured across the river?

0 more of ‘fast eddies’ fleet. worked for him at the sawmills for a while…bloody slave labour!
I used to haul Coomber’s plant around, before he had his own lorries.
hi any body on here remember the firm of arthur brunsdon of ryeford stonehouse and they old fodens .
Yet another brain-wrecker!
Didn’t Arthur Brunsdon run cattle lorries?
Around 1960 , this new Austin FFK 140 7 tonner joined the fleet of Wm. Parry & Sons of St. Briavels .
Delivering animal feeds was one of the many goods carried when not carrying livestock
in the removable livestock body.
Additional Austin FF and FH 4 wheelers were engaged on milk kit collections.
Cheers, cattle wagon man.

It was Kev,just past Watts Trucks if you came in from the West side…The Golden Valley bypass superseded the ringroad soon after.
Cheers Dave.
Some of us old ■■■■■ can remember the cattle market in the middle of the city.
