Does any of you oldies remember Marsden Warehouse,s Ltd They had a yard in Gateshead Pippwellgate I think it was along past Bretts Oils, They also had a place next to 17 shed on the Quay, I can only remember a few drivers names --Ronnie Boyd, Jimmy Nicholson, Bobby Heppple Sandy ■■?. Arthur Fox. & in later years Eddie Stevenson, They ran a mixed fleet in those days any mems anyone, Regards Larry.
Another two names come to mind Norman Blackett [RIP], Big JOE Luke, Ted Holmes [Yo Yo] a Yorkshireman he drove a Scammell 3 wheeler. Regards Larry.
By gum the whiskeys are working well to-night, More names, Wilson Jackson (Manager), Billy Burns & Collin Robson fitters, Colin Davison in the traffic office, Regards Larry By this time they had changed the name to Marsden Freight Services Ltd.
Do any of you North East lads remember a lad called Charlie Pejkert [Cheepei Cheepie Charlie] Was his handle, He was a great bloke,I first met him in the 50s when he was a tyre fitter aay Gorrills on Corporation Street in the Toon, He then moved on to Tyre Services in Rothbury Terrace Heaton, & then he was given the Sales Mangers Job, I can tell you this bloke could seel sand to the Arabs , A good pal of mine who still runs wagons up in Perth used to get his tyres off Charlie, I attended his Funeral to-day along with my pal Arthur Lowdon who was also one of Charlies Custumers like myself, He got to 86 , & His family gave him a good send off, RIP Charlie, Regards Larry, & Arthur Lowdon.
Larry, there’s a letter in May’s Heritage Commercial, ( it’s more a life story really) he’s from Tyneside but he’s worked all over the country, he’s had more jobs than the “fugitive”. I can’t say I know him but our paths must have crossed somewhere. As his name is in print I think it must be ok to repeat it here. Robin W Dipper now living in Cramlinton. (Marsden Freights, Transways and Waugh’s are just a taste of his career). Regards Kev.
Thanks Kev, The name dosnt ring any bells but I will get the mag & have a read it may refresh my failing memory, I nearly forgot to re-stock my whiskey stash, Oh dear this getting old thing has got to be treat with caution & great thought to avoid calamities Eh, Regards Larry.
yes mate you are right glass house comes to mind oh you trannie boys lol

the regular driver of this beauty was George but I had the pleasure of tramping with this motor a few times and enjoyed every minute behind the wheel. it went like a train and drove like a car. The pies weren’t to bad either.

Its a shame In the early 90s when the distribution site for tindales was on the north side of scotswood bridge they had 7 artics 1 rigid running round the country and 1 artic 1 rigid doing locals which also ran between burnopfield and scotswood. you still cant beat an oval tindale pie from the chippy
