Cheers Oily, fascinating stuff, seems i was a tad wide of the mark. Keep safe.
Hi Oily, I used to drive past Robert,s yard when staying in a cottage near Whitchurch, Ross on Wye always interesting to see what was in the yard or parked on the grass verge.
Cheers, Leyland 600

74 tons of parts for the crusher jaws loaded off the Dampier wharf no problems with the Wharfies waiting to unload at the Telfor gold mine in West OzDig
Wait for our resident expert to tell you that you can’t have 74 ton on there.
Good pic.

I haven’t seen that Atkinson of Dave’s for a while, it has a large Ruston engine in the back and he used to exhibit at a lot of local vintage rallies such as Darley Dale etc.
Pete.
Buzzer,
That BSA is in splendid condition. But I would not want one. I had a Ducati in that era. Its engineering was far superior…

Two great pictures Steve, particularly the first one. The bus is Salford Corporation, but the Foden lorry caught my eye.
I could see that it has a Sheffield number plate, and I managed to see that it had " Jubilee Stout " on the side of the cab.
It made me think, how many Trucknet members could remember Jubilee Stout, It was similar to Guinness and Mackeson
stout , but much smoother. It being brewed in Sheffield, I was wondering whether it was available throughout the UK,
or was it mainly sold and supped in the North of England. Cheers, Ray.
Hey buzzer the trans alpine express Volvo reg a542oat didn’t skillbeech have that when it was two- tone blue or could I be wrong

Hi mate we had two ex Brian Yeardley A541 & A543 painted in the old two tone blue and red chassis both of which got sold to Skillbeech who ran them into the ground, this was the result of drivers trying to wag the dog and I just said I’ll sell the lot which was noy quite the case as a couple drivers who were not so gobby kept working. In all I sold four Globy’s at that time of the spat and we moved on to buying new motors, over 100 Volvo’s a batch of Daf’s then on to Scania’s which is what the boys run today and are waiting for ten more new one’s early 2022, Never be intimidated by drivers it worked for me Buzzer.

96 Salford bus from Whitefield to East Didsbury. Used it quite a few times. Jubilee stout I would think would have been Hope and Anchor Breweries Sheffield. Picture may be Stockport road Longsight, near to Slade lane junction, but not sure. I remember Jubilee stout very well, Used to deliver it round the Greater Manchester area and a bit beyond when I worked for a Wines, spirits and beer merchant.
