The Foden four wheeler looks to be an ex Shipstones brewery of Nottingham motor judging by the two stars on the front, they were big Foden users.

Throughout the 1970âs and early 1980âs Transfeet quite a number of Foden S80 tractor units on spot hire.
They were later taken over by The Fraikin Group in 2005
Lyons Maid was sold to Nestlé in 1992.
Six years later in 1998 the Lyons Maid brand was dropped in favour of Nestlé ice cream.
In 2001 R&R Ice Cream of Leeming Bar, North Yorkshire acquired Nestleâs loss-making UK ice cream business.
Six years later In 2008 the Lyons Maid brand was revived when R&R Ice Cream (Richmond and Roncadin) decided to restore the brand alongside its other products such as Kellys, Cadbury, Del Monte and Britvic ice cream brands.
Today R&R manufactures over 600 million ice lollies every year, produces and packages over 70% of 2-litre supermarket own-brand ice cream for major UK supermarkets including Tesco and Asda, and employs around 665 people at its Leeming Bar plant.

This would be an identical motor to the Lyons Maid one, Albion 4 cyl ,6 speed O/D box and Albion HR axle. A bomb proof little motor but unfortunately they only had Air over hydraulic brakes so got down rated at plating and testing time in 1970. Cheers Bewick.

H Parkinson Haulage Ltd have been on the go for over 60 years and are still very much in business today.
Now known as HPH their head office is at Mayfield House Chorley Road Walton-Le-Dale Preston.
They have several storage and distribution depots located in and around the Preston area along with a Transport & Distribution depot in Barrow-in-Furness.
This number plate is now assigned to of all things a Dacia Duster car
MAN TGA 6X2 tractor unit Reg No M55 HPH registered new in September 2006.
mckelvies was a classic old haulage firm jim mckelvie had a lot to do with the first Volvos in Scotland ailsa trucks at paisley im sure the lad on here was from the warrington depot , james canning was another big player from Leyland I had some good mates from here although they werent popular for a while after appearing on tele during the drivers strike
This Mc Kelvie Scania reminds me of their disastrous attempt to deliver a boiler from Glasgow to Islay by sea.
It involved the Army, Navy and a lot of Islanders but did they make it?
Below are the links to the amazing high quality film from 1964.
Make sure you have your sound on, at the most each part is only 2.30 minutes long well worth watching.
If you watch Part 1 the other parts will follow on automatically.

I have the âBig Beanieâ on disc and it is a very interesting piece of film, I wonder if the same operation could be carried
out today, I doubt very much, well worth watching though. Franky.

Paul you have posted some quality posts on here,but that is up there with the best of them !
Really enjoyed that film,they really should have listened to the chap from the distillery about the tides.
Have to say that normally dark brown motors in my opinion dont look that good on trucks but that Foden
looks very smart must have been brand new,you would cry if that was your motor underwater ! Must have
done some damage !
