I was down at Hull a few days ago tipping in Scot Street, There has been a lot of changes since I ran to Hull some years ago, Where do they load the fish now ?, Regards Larry.

i remember them getting it new in 85, scanlink had a framed picture of it in there reception area, if im right it reg is B555YAG or YAT somethin like that, CHEERS DAVE.

Whatever happened to Tozers ,i can clearly remember seeing their blue & white volvo s loaded with bricks heading north back up the A1 ,always thought they were a nice colour even though the lorry s were quite old ,i remember speaking to two of their drivers separately, one said Tozers had 81 vehicles , then the other chap said they had about 18 :confused: , i remember seeing some New (G REG) Volve Fl10s then they just seemed to disappear.

I think there were two Tozers in Hull, Mike Tozer and Sam Tozer who were both in haulage. I don’t think either of them are still involved.

I don’t think MH Tozer ever had a “large” fleet, they used to be based in Lambert Street off Beverley Rd IIRC and also used to leave trailers in Blakeys yard on Hedon Rd.

I also remember that the boss was referred to as Sam Tozer

Somewhere I have a poor quality photo taken at the Lord Mayors parade which I’ll dig out

Wouldn`t mind seeing any old photos of Link Transport if anyone had some, I used to spend many a weekend in there yard at Marflleet as a lad. My old man was shunter.
