Anyone remember Taylor Plant Hire from Blaydon Burn

Yes i can remember Taylor Plant, the man in front of the Foden was a fitter there, he lived at Wallbottle and did a little bit part time for us at Heddon but i can`t think of his name. Eddy comes to mind?
Thanks
Mark

Hi lads, mothertrucker the last time i saw eddy was in tenerife about 10yrs a go, some great photos of siddlle’s. where they taken at the hydro scheme at killen in Scotland, is that harry gill driving the b-r-s leyand with a dolly as you say the good old days, the motors were a bit basic but the camaraderie was absolutely brilliant, no phone in cabs you were just left to get on with the job. bumper

hiya,
Not me Jim but drove an identical motor to that one on the odd occasion but never with a dolly, have done long stuff with a bog standard trailer set back can’t make fleet no out or i could put the depot to the motor.PS just had another look at the pic it’s a Yorkshire reg Leeds if my memory serves me right, Scunthorpe did a lot of that sort of work
thanks harry long retired.
