Sorry to hear about your friend Arthur Lowden, Larry, although I did not know him I certainly remember seeing his wagons around Seaton Burn etc back in in the 1970s when I was running over to Stannington and other farms in that area almost every week.

Hi Larry, The farm is in between Pity Me and Witton Gilbert. I think it’s on the little link road between the A691 (Durham to Lanchester) and the Durham to Sacriston road (B6532) The postcode is DH1 5RH (Tomlinson’s Farm) Hope this helps.
The Auctioneers are Hexham and Northern Marts. Mr Tomlinson (farmer) is retiring.

Hiya,
Larry, if travelling along the Consett road from Durham, a little ways along
you come to Nelsons Transport just opposite is a road turn right along that
road and that takes you to Hartside Farm which I believe is the auction site.
thanks harry, long retired.

Thanks for the info P & H, IIRC This Albion was owned by Tomlinson & used to do work out of Sunderland hauling bagged cement from a place on the River Wear just over the Monkwearmouth Bridge on the left folllowing the River. I may be wrong but as one gets older the mem buds start to fade Im afraid, I will just have be content with my Single Malts, 
Regards Larry.

Nice photo, We had a few Leylands, Only one Freighter which was a trouble free bit of gear 11 Tonne plus pay load at 17 Tonnes Gross, Good on fuel, But I must say the Brakes good have been a bit better, The back linings were narrower than the Front for some reason, But It used to sail through the MOTS, This was taken at Harden Red Stone Quarry, Regards Larry.

It was Wylam Wharf I think, Regards Larry.
Just got this colour photo from a relative showing some of the Sanderson fleet in the yard at Great Broughton.
It looks as if it was taken at the same time as this black and white photo which is in one Bob Tucks excellent Road Transport Heritage books.
