Hi guy’s, I’m looking for old photo’s of Forest of Dean firms, some long gone from our roads (more’s the pity)… Firstly has anyone got Lucozade from the Coleford depot, mainly Atkinson Borderer’s, but anything will do. R. Ward general haulage from Milkwall Nr. Coleford. Rolly Farr also from Milkwall who mainly ran Daf’s on general haulage and steel coils out of South Wales. Cyril Moore who had a Scania 111 as far as I can remember. T.S. Thomas from Lydney who ran the quarry at Tidenam just outside Chepstow. John James from Lydbrook who had ERF’s and a Scammell Handyman tractor unit. Here’s hoping that someone somewhere can oblige…Cheers…Paul
if thats the right post i put some pictures of forest of dean transport on here they are from the early 90’s
I remember when FoD caravans in their hey-day had the yard next to the Remploy works, here’s one I took a couple of years ago.
As I hate having my photo taken, here’s one of the trucks my brother drove ( you may know him, everyone seems to ) He was on his way back from Wick in 2005 after delivering a walk-in fridge to a new Sommerfields store. It took him 17 hours to get home to the Forest…
