That shot hadnât changed much over the following 25/30 years except the motors were somewhat newer ! But the stroppy Porters and their poxy barraâs had never changed one bit ! I have been parked there with my D1000 a good few times loading for delivery to a Barrow-in-Furness wholesale merchant so it brings the memories flooding back ! Great shot from long gone times ! Cheers Bewick.

I hated that place with a bloody passion,fiddling bloody porters âsign 'ere driveâ,not until Iâve checked it so sod off.It may well have had âcharacterâ but they could put their âcharacterâ where sun didnât shine.

Couldnât agree more. Used to be at the garden most days loading for Leeds etc. The fields wasnât so bad but the borough was a pita with an artic.
stroppy Porters and their poxy barraâs had never changed one bit ! How true.
