I worked for E.BUTLER & SONS (MALTBY) from 1974 to 1984 tarmac took us over in 1979,dont know what year they bought hoveringham,but I remember changing a steering box on a ford transit with this colour scheme.paul.
Here is the entrance to an ex Hoveringham pit in Essex,
pretty much worked out years ago, but a friend of mine runs a tidy little fleet out of here & digs out the odd load of type 2,
The gates are still in good nick & used every day
Great site you got going here Nigel with alot of support of photo’s from yourself and friends, brings back lots of memories from my younger days.
