Who will tell more about this Ulster-registrated Dennison truck? The cab looks crudely built, with only flat panels.
Dennison of Co. Dublin built about 250 of these units in the '70s. They used the SISU M-series cab. Most of them had Rolls 265 lumps with Fuller RT9509C 'boxes. There was at least one RR290 and a single Gardner unit. Robert

Thanks! So, I reckon this one has a Sisu cab?

Yes, I think we saw some similar when some SISUs were posted a short time ago but maybe not in this thread. To me, now, and at the time, I always thought that they were built down to a price and wondered if it showed inside the cab.
Were they bog standard, rattley, cold or hot, uncomfortable or otherwise? Anyone driven one?
I would guess that, due to their short duration on the scene, they were either not cheap enough to buy, or cheap enough but in more ways than one.

Thanks for those pictures, Oily, and especially for the interesting link to the Dennisonâs history. Inside the cab it does look a bit cramped (and that gear lever looks to be a bit of a shoulder dislocator) but I suppose it was in keeping with the standards of the day, F88/89 apart , and seems to have been well thought of. It looks like a sleeper cab from the outside but I expect the bunk if it was there (that rising engine hump towards the back could be a bad sign, a bit like that Mack urban cab that was imported for a time) would have been very narrow, again the F88/89 comes to mind.

G Wooliscroft and Sons ERFâs picture circa 1952 showing their whole fleet at the time. Picture is taken from an original picture (hence poor quality) which my dad removed from the directors office before the company closed down. NVT558 is still around, all the others seem to be long gone.Thanks for posting excellent photos. Late 1960s I had done quite a bit of work out of the potteries and remember loading hand made bricks from Hewitts brick works Fenton near Stoke. Next door was a company who made stone fireplaces and sure it was called Wooliscroft or Woolstoncroft. Is this the same company? They were not so busy since the smokeless zone act mid 60s and most households converted to Rayburn type fireplaces.
Cheers KEV
Hi Kev, George Wooliscroft and Sonâs tiles and fireplaces had factories in Etruria, Hanley Works and Joiners Square, but not in Fenton, so it must have been Woolstoncroft.
The picture with the ERFâs came from the directors office in Etruria and was removed around 2009.

Love this shot from 1946 but who can tell me the make of truck someone will know, the second shot I liked as I drove a Bedford HA van for a animal feed company when I was a trainee sales rep and used to take small loads out to keep customers going until the bigger trucks could deliver full amounts, Buzzer
My first car/van I owned was a Bedford HA Passion wagon (well I can lie about the passion bit), It was sky blue & didnât like to go much above 40mph. But it would wheel spin like hell (admittedly on wet road with skinny tyres), also do good donuts on a old pig muck pad. Didnât smell very sweet when I had finished showing off to my mates . Things we used to do when we were spotty teenagers
That photo was a blast from the past and I forgot all about my old HA. I then moved onto a Cortina which lasted 3 weeks before I parked it upside down against a tree, must have been the power of the 2.0l 
Brilliant colour photo of the Atkinson love how the one wiper is parked off the screen!!
