Yes, I remember T.S Thomas, as will many others. Back in my day they were green tippers working out of the quarry, well before they started pulling fridges. Mostly Albions with LAD cabs, if I recall correctly?
Were they not based at the quarry which is now the national diving centre ? By the old railway line up to Tiddenham . regards Keith .

Hi wideboybob , yes Stelrad were based on the hadnock ind est , but i think were based in Banbury or that area , hence the Oxfordshire registrations . D T Williams or Fred if you prefer also hauled out of Stelrad with Fodens . regards Keith

We used to take baled waste paper from them to somewhere in East London- can’t remember the firm or the exact location, but I do remember that it involved using two sets of standard BRS-sized sheets!
Were are the pics from Richard Thorn

Hi ROF , i can remember Horace Williams from Ross doing alot out of Kents taking waste paper down to High Wycombe , resulting them having a Foden unit being burnt out on one particular trip . regards Keith .
What did they expect? Foden+sparks+paper=FIRE!!!
