Gardner 120:
Ethan 123 - yeah I remember Beeston market well, used to go there on a Friday. It was on a busy road with a railway line directly opposite.
Here’s another shot of the old and new Albions parked up at Biddulph in the early 60s.
Hi i can remember Beeston too .Can anyone recall a SeddAtk 400 4 drawbar that regularly visited the market . I think it was from the Tarvin area ? regards kk
nelsons i think now running a daf 85 4 wheeler and drag
Hi R975ENC thanks for that i wonder if any one has a photograph of it regards kk
Some more of my grave yard shots. In 1986 I was at Wharf Rd one Sunday wandering round the yard. A lot of the wagons from 10 years previously had been ‘retired’ and were terminal
I suspect this was the original cab on the Leyland Chieftain posted earlier (dunno anything about the 1300 Countryman) and YMB 313J was the wagon I rode in most - we travelled hundreds of miles in it, ERF 4 wheeler Gardner 120 - I couldn’t get a decent shot of it due to the thick brambles!
Hi all can anybody remember a livestock haulier from the Stafford area , called i think Sharrat .
They ran a Guy J artic would see it at Shrewsbury and Market Drayton auctions ? regards kk

Hi kingswinford kit
Ted Nelson died suddenly 20 odd yrs ago at the wheel of a d800, so after that they downsized & paul [ted’s son] now runs a daf 85 & drag which is’nt sign written.
Hi boys
Watty, I seem to remember after Ted died Mrs Nelson carried on running a small 4 wheeler and Paul started out on his own after a falling out. Not sure what has happened to Mrs Nelson but I see the old family home at Tushingham has changed hands.
