Gordon Martindales,i delivered derv to him for a lot of years as well as to yourself.Vic.P.S. Thats a grand old photo.
I can remember in the 50s there was some road works going on in the cut & south bound traffic were diverted through Ferry Hill Town , the T/Cs had a field day with some of the old motors putting a lot of black smoke out, I myself had to get into bottom gear to get up the heavy click, happy days Eh, Regards Larry.
I remember my grandmother, telling me of how they constructed te road though the cut. Before that the only way was up into Ferryhil and down the other side. Apparently my grandfather and his eary drivers used to dread going up into Ferryhill with overloaded early twenties T model Fords then back down the other side with more often than not no brakes.

Loveley motor, I should have bought it when I had the chance, I pride myself when I say Im a dedicated Foden Driver , the Foden 12 speed G/B, With a gear for every hill was great, you just had to now how to drive them, & in my case I loved them, I could make them talk, But of course ther was drivers who hated them, I dont know why , but it was probabley because they they didnt realley want to know, So all I can say Is They will never know what they missed, Foden were the best in their day, Pioneers to to-days haulage opperations, Regards Larry
