I can remember Trembles from when I was a very young kid. Used to play at red hill on our bikes near their yard. Later in life when I had my first pint in the Sun Inn I can remember a driver in his green overalls who drove for Trembles but never knew his name. I can remember the cranes and sure they had low loaders as well. That must have been when I decided I wanted to drive HGVs ha ha.
And now I live on the estate at the back of Trembles yard which is still in use as my car mechanic has a small unit there. Never knew it was called Tinklers Turn though and been a Benton lad all my life

Tinklers Turn is a new one on me too Toonheed, I’m a Longbenton lad aswell and remember Trembles, Six wheel mobile cranes probably ex MOD bonneted types and as you say I recall single axle low loaders, the kit always looked well used to say the least. They always seemed to be around in the Sixties. Franky.
