Found another also at Dene quarry, think this was taken around 1968. 
Same wagon at the bottom of Cromford hill slowing for the lights at the junction of the A6.
One more for now.
I believe this operated from Dene but I’m unsure of the location of the shot. I seem to think it may be the road between Wirksworth and Ashbourne.
nice pics bd
Just loged on and thought i had won the lottery.Great photos.
A friend gave me this photo last week so i dont know anything about it,apart from the fact its a LEYLAND BISON .
Heres one from the fifties the picture quality is poor.Originaly these fodens were four wheelers,and converted into the first artics
to be used by HOVERINGHAM.
I rember some of them being sold to a company called C and G HOWARD.They were painted blue,and they carried fly ash from
staythorpe power station,to a company called HEMELIGHT for making breeze blocks.
Another one at Dene :
Couple more I found :
A few Mammoth Transport tankers under the ownership of Hoveringham.

Here,s one for you BONKY.
I have resently obtained this photo,and have been told that it was taken at the lorry driver of the year compertition at newark.
Perhaps bonky could shed some light on this one,as it is a hoveringham stone lorry.
Lovely pic that mate. 
Just the sort I like to see !
As for it’s history, well I’m not certain by any means, but I’d guess it was based at Dene quarry, Cromford as I’m told they ran quite a few Octopus tippers there just before the seven T’s took them over in 1981.
I actually know of a bloke that was transport manager for Tarmac / Derbyshire Stone at their Matlock HQ and I’ll email him to find out if he knows for sure.
And on the pic front, keep up the good work.
Heres a nice photo of one of the Foden S 80s.
Another view of an S21.
The S80 is a beaut, Nigel.
Did this run out of Hoveringham ? Also note the reg plate. Just a few numbers away from the HS Octopus you posted the other day. Any idea why this was so ? Thought only similar reg plate numbers came from the same lorry manufacturer.
Oh and I had a reply from the old fella that used to be transport manager at Matlock and he told me he had no info on an Octopus with that reg.
So it was either sold on before Tarmac took over Hoveringham, or it was based at the other HS quarry which was down south. (I believe there was only three, Dene, Bradwell and the one down south - unsure of it’s name).
I recently obtained this photo,and would like to know which quary it used to run out of.
Just been sorting out some of my photos,came across this one .It used to be in the workshop window at hoveringham.I have
reason to believe it was taken at a quarry in canada belonging to hoveringham gravels.If you look at the livery on the door
it is very similar to the logo used by hoveringham in the 1950s.
An old cutting out of the hoveringham news .
I was talking to a pal of mine who used to work on the tarmac plant at Dene Quarry, Cromford, Derby’s in the days when Hoveringham owned it and asked him about the AEC Mercury (or it may have been a Leyland Comet?) 4 wheeler with a 4 wheel trailer behind it, cow and calf, that they had there. It had the 8 wheeler engine in it so it went well when running solo! Apparently it used to take two split loads of tarmac to Council depots etc in the Brum area, the trailer would be left at one yard after unloading while the truck went elsewhere, and occasionaly the driver would return to the quarry and someone would point out the fact that the trailer was still down in Brum,oops!! 
My mate reckoned that the driver did it on purpose to get back to Birmingham again as that area paid well!
Pete.
Hello,hey Windrush is this the lorry you mean when you say cow and calf…from page 1 off the scrapbook. 
Cheers Bubbs.
