I think the Great Northern got pulled down when the new Aire Valley road was constructed it was at the bottom of Wakefield Road ,last i heard Mick Hannan was working for HLH
I think the Great Northern was pulled down long before the Aire Valley Rd was planned.
IIRC it was at the junction of Wakefield Rd and Adolphus street, by the Adolphus goods yard , probably went in the late '60ās.
ā ā ā ā Corner used to work, before A1 , for R Dennison/F Obank on Tong St. and I am fairly sure that Mick hannan started out at National carriers on Valley Rd.
Didnāt Ashies drivers use the Lord Clyde as their bradford office?
Could have been any pub to be fair

There were 2 pubs at the bottom of wakefield rd 1 was the Bedford ,i thought the other was the Great Northern , im probably wrong but they did pull a pub down around that area when the roundabout went .Mick also worked at Colemans for a while
yes he did work at Colemans for a time, I remember him there along with Colin Craven .
the Bedford Arms was there till they started the new rd.

tommy lodge he passed away in june last year
I remember Tommy Lodge working for John Feather driving a foden 8 wheeler on the marshalls job ,then when we were working out of buck park quarry at denholme Tommy was the weighbridge man ,good bloke to work with and he could tell some good tales always interesting when your a young lad .Sorry to hear hes passed on .Must be 25 year ago now,told me about a chinesse six maudsley that he drove at ashworths carting castings out of repton foundry and a ramp that ashy built to tip tractors on the docks.
Peterq i see you found two of the photos on scrap book and posted them on here i knew i d seen them on there , there another one on blb ill see if i can find it.

I wonder if hes still as daft?Theres a photo of a 2600 daf on yorkshire hauliers thread posted by ramone its the same colour as the one ashworth had. The 2800 in the factory green that micky moore had was reg RJX476P i think ashworths factory green 2800 was a similar reg ,do you know?
Hiya .iāve just found a photo of ashāys 6 legger on a site. just go to googleā¦imagesā¦(top of page)

hiya i knew it was the same lorry, it looks a slightly different green and thought maybe the photo may have fitted the period better.
