Some fine photos there thanks to Buzzer and Leyland 600 
I remember from my youth the 2¼ cwt sacks of grain and the 50 gal. drum, from the mill chute two men would work together with a short stout stick across near the bottom of the sack, a hand each on the neck and the lift onto the drum, whereby the carrier would have an assist onto his back and carry it to the wagon.
Now then Leyland 600 the Progressive wagon is a Mandator and the driver of that particular one was Johnny Pratt, notice the bottom deck “well”, this was an in house fabrication on a 5 car trailer to convert to 6 car. I had a new Mercury in ‘67 with a 7 car trailer, running nights to Carlisle for about 6mths then MAT started the rail traffic from Cowley Station to the North, that put me back on “local” and still on nights.
Gordon and Innes were primarily seed potato merchants, tho’ your pic shows them loading/unloading eggs at the Banfshire Egg Packers Depot in Huntly you can just see the Trader behind with the Banffshire Egg Packer livery, great memory joggers thanks

I remember delivering Mothers Pride Bread Old Trafford to Motorman’s in the early 1960s. They would have about quarter van load of catering bread late Sunday early Monday morning ready for the A62 traffic. 3am the A62 was full of Mill lorry drivers and (David Brown Tractor)s drivers Meltham. Late 1960s I went lorry driving but still made an effort to call in many times after the M62 was built.

Aye good old Motormans, Ive had many a good feed in there & its still going, I had a cracking b/fast there some time ago, It was a popular stop with all the North East Lads from the 50s onwards, Happy Days, Reagrds Larry.
This is my pal George Petrie’s motor. I took this today in pouring rain, (new camera)
I’m very pleased with the result. (I’ll be driving this on Tuesday) I think it’ll be a bit
different to the LPS1418 I drove for eight years. 
Regards Kev.

Hehehe, trouble with the Motormans in summer was the sheep poking their heads into the open door…and the sheep faeces (crap) …we know big words oop 'ere.
I used to favour Ma & Pa Johnsons wood hut cafe just over the top of the hill, they lived down in Diggle and always got a lift up with anything going through about 05:00am every morning.
Thanks to Stanfield, Buzzer and kevmac47 for the pics, a cracking lot
A couple of ERFs, thanks to Ian Hale for sharing.

Brand new I think but nice, Is it a Mammoth (what) . Once owned a AEC Mammoth Minor tractor unit but had it on round timber and took the second axle out which made it long wheel base but at least it had off road traction to a point and not a seesaw, Buzzer.
Thank you sir, I enjoyed my time with my AEC, I got it new about 1961, kept it for 2/3 years and then moved on to tankers. But it made a lasting impression on me, I’ve never forgotten it and I still remember the day old Fred Chappell said to me…“take yon new AEC Brian, and be bloody careful with it, it’s cost a lot of money”. I was only a young lad but with my AEC I was king of the road.
