Hereford hauliers

Hi Mark,
I,m not sure if Sharples have sold the lorries or not, I will call in their yard and have a word with Matt in the garage, he may have some pics. I know they have brochures and handbooks going back to the old days on vehicles they have owned. I would imagine they have pics as well. Don,t know if Miss Sharples would lend me some to scan or not, only way is for me to ask.
Cheers Dave

Hi Graham,
I used to drive for H.L.Robinson’s Transport in the sixties. Somewhere I may have some old photo’s.
Regards Jezz

How many lorries did H L Robinson run, seemed to be quite a few. They used to come up to Kington to Passey Nott who my Dad drove for. I also saw them about when I was driving.
