I’m sure many people will remember Graham’s lorries from Brigg.

Nice pics Ishift. I used to work for Colin Booths who took Grahams over. I worked at the Epworth yard which used to be Holmes’s

Hi phillybob, Holmes were white and yellow weren’t they ?

Kev Goodhand’s dad used to run his own lorry from Caistor which is still in preservation today.

Not 100% sure, but think they were absorbed by Fowler-Welch.
When I worked at BRS Peterborough, we used to rent trucks to Dears, and it wasn’t uncommon for them to come back with 1000miles added on
the clock after a 24hr hire. They certainly new how to get their moneysworth!
