hi ttb
he did have one tipper which ran out of raisby quarry
he did a lot of work for a company that made electricity transformer boxes at hartlepool i think dont know the name of the firm
all his motors were MANs, i used to maintain them, he rented part of pinningtons garage in crook iirc they used to run double decker buses so the garage was big enough to house the curtainsiders

I know the garage you are on about Hilarys used to park a few Coaches there I thought the lad with the beard who drove the Drawbar was the fitter for Taylors as he used to come to Toronto in the LT pick odd times for spanners and other bits of gear.

hi ttb
the lad with the beard was called stevie he was a driver but would help out in the garage.
i was self employed so used to do his maintenance at weekends or prepare them for mot during the week when required
forgot about the lt pick up he had did a couple runs to leith in that with transformer boxes also used to tip wagons and reload them on occasions

F7sid, you havenā€™t got any pics of Cazaly Bros tippers from the Sixties or Seventies by any chance, I remember a driver lived a couple of doors away from our house and he often had his motor at home, Iā€™m sure I recall an 8 legger Aki, they had quite a nice livery then. Cheers Franky.
