Fantastic picture of the four wheel LEYLAND .My dad used to drive one out of grove street quarry during the 1970s.
Here is one of his older lorries.

Hello,hey Windrush is this the lorry you mean when you say cow and calf…from page 1 off the scrapbook.
Cheers Bubbs.
Yes that’s the one Bubbs, or very similar as they no doubt had more at other plants. Thank’s.
Pete.
Don’t know where this Octopus was based, but I have a sneak feeling it was at Dene Quarry.
Thanks again for the photos BONKY.Just spotted something,looking at this photo.Dont ever remember hoveringham gravels owning
an S24 with a ribbed body like the one used on the micky mouse fodens.I can remember lots of S24s being delivered in grey primer,
and they were all steam cleaned and sprayed at hoveringham depot.They were all fitted with the square shaped bodies.
Is this a Hoveringham Albion? Taken in the 50s on the old Calver Bridge over the Derwent on the A623 between Baslow and Stoney Middleton.
I wonder who rearranged the bridge wall? 
Found this picture in one of my magazines.This is the same vehicle that has been totaly restored,by mr pearson from coventry.
CRC 98T at the Tipcon 79, prior to delivery at Hoveringham. I had this lorry from new till
T----c took over and sold it on to an owner driver.
Nice photo mate.Was you based at hoveringham or outbased at one of the quarries.I was time served at hoveringham and moved
to finningley in the early seventies.During my apprenticeship i had many a good day out as a low loader mate.The low loader was
at that time was a scammell hywayman coupled to a scammell four in line trailer.It has now become an obbsetion to find a photo
of it.The registration no was RVO 748F.I think it was sold to a steam enthusiast to transport his traction engine.
hi nigel, glad you like the photo, i started on hov in 75 on arthur kirbys skips i was then transfered to gravel on a 8 wheeled scammell till i got RNN 131 N, the one on page 4 with the drop sides then went for 31/2 years to colwick till it closed down. then went back to hov in the weighbridge till i took over the daf in 79. left in 84. greg jakeman.
I’ve found a few more. Apologies if they’ve already been posted, I’m getting mixed up ! 
Thanks again for the photos bonkey.Have been promised a few more from a friend.
Hope to have them next weekend,if they arrive i will gladly post.The six wheel albions bring back many memmories.
We used a lot of them as stocking motors at many quarries.I remember backing one of the low loader,its tail gate
had been removed and the securing bar had siezed in a possition which left it sticking out.I backed up a bit to far
and stuck it through weighbridge window,and scared the weighbridge cleark.You wouldnot be allowed to leave the
tailgate bar on a vehicle today.Health and safety would nail you to the cross.
Just finnished trawling through my photos.This as far as i am aware is the only colour photo of hoveringham fodens taken
at hoveringham in the 1950s.
Just been given this photo of hoveringham drivers during the 1960s.
Does any of you recognise any of them,if so please post and let me know.
Nigel, I recognise 2nd in from right Eric Howard Hov driver, went in weighbridge when I went back driving. &th in from right on front Henry, can’t think of second name he drove at Newark. Guy left centre front shaking hands is Freddie Hodgkiss Hoveringham,took Coton’s job when he retired. 2nd from left is Charlie Ellis hoveringham driver. sorry that’s the best I can do.
Many thanks for that ,the chap you could not remember second name was henry hopkinson.He unfortunately passed away
and this photo was kindley given to me by his son.I have many fond memmories of working with him,as i worked
at a company who used him as a part time driver after he had retired.He used to drive my lorry when i was on holliday.
Here is a nice photo of the mammoth sculpture,standing proud in front of the office block.
Look at the guy on the left in wellingtons 
was he a driver■■? When I drove for Ameys of Oxford in my young days ( many moons ago ) you were sacked on the spot if you were seen in the truck in wellies.
just found a picture of a topmix merc in an old paperback.
Not sure about the wellies,but i think i saw him in the film hell drivers.
