Hi Brian can you or anyone remember lad called Henry who was the fitter at the old thompsons garage, i think he was from West Denton last i saw of him was when he was fitting for Rolly Hands at advance foods about 25yrs ago
Henry Evans, he had set up on his own with a garage on the spike at Blaydon the last i heard, but that was years ago.

Great pictures f7sidd. Don’t remember ever seeing the red one.
Wish I could find some more old ones of Pugh’s gear.

These tippers are loading Manganese Ore for Eveready at Tanfield Lea, Long gone now sadly to say. Regards Larry.
HI Lawrence, where are these Cowans Sheldon of Carlisle dockside luffing cranes located, Newcastle Quay ? I used to make the wooden patterns for the D shaped counterbalance weights each side of the machinery house. If these cranes were built in the late 50s I probably had a hand in some of the cast components.

This is how we usually hauled Pig Iron from Workington Larry !!! On the flat,but loaded and unloaded by magnet,this load IIRC was destined for the Ford foundry at Dagenham and it is,for some reason,on a K.Fell trailer and coupled to a Bewick 111.A Fell trailer very rarley got into W. ■■■■■■■ so this must have been an exception so instead of loading it for Lancashire we have banged a load of Pig on it for the South !! Cheers Dennis.
