DEANB:
Smith & Robinson F88 tanker. Am i right in thinking that the exhaust had to be moved to the front is
something to do with tanker haulage regulations ■■?

Hello deanb, no one came back to you on this one I notice.
Yes, front mounted exhaust was part of PET Regs requirements, duel pole wiring, clips on rear windows, heat shields etc, all to protect the tanker from the truck.

Eric Armitt were from Wharf Road Biddulph Stoke on Trent.
They used to do quite a lot of work out of the salt mine at Winsford.

Here’s another shot of HRF 578N when operated by A Barlow.
Notice it is minus it’s middle windscreen wiper.

[moomooland]

We had this shot of one of their other motors back in August on page 45.

Harry Campey started the business in the 1930s with just one truck.
His youngest son married the daughter of Stan Robson, the founder of Robson’s Border Transport.

Campeys of Selby Ltd, still very much in business today, is now owned and run by Harrys Grandson Paul Campey, the third generation of the Selby based haulier.

Good pic,i see it has had a different body put on as well. Funny enough the European model ERF
suffered problems with having 3 wipers,so i wonder if the B series also suffered the same problem.
Probably the same part used on the early B series and no doubt upgraded in later models. However
Robert will know.

Good stuff Paul, nice to see a company still going and on the third generation of the family.

Midway Haulage of Wigan were bought out by Hills transport of Cardiff, note the Hills logo on the sheets.
Midway did vast amounts of work out of the Heinz factory at Kitt Green Wigan at the same time as W.J. Riding.
In later years Hills themselves were taken over by Rhys Davies
