Hi Dean,
More classic shots,thank you.The F86 with Morgan on it,is one of Ivor D. Morgan from ely bridge in cardiff.They were a well known haulier many years ago.i think they held a patent for an early design of walking floor trailer? i also notice the Capitol Trading F10,i wasn’t aware they had VOLVO’s,I only remember them with Mercs.The company is still very much with us now,known as euroclad.
regards andrew.

Manchester Liners was a cargo and passenger shipping company founded in 1898, based on Salford Docks Manchester.
They used many contractors to haul their containers around the UK a few of which are pictured below…

They were a huge company back in the day with a fleet of ships along with a rail head in Montreal Canada.

All of the line’s vessels were registered in the Port of Manchester, and many were lost to enemy action during the First and Second World Wars.

A successful switch from traditional cargo handling to containerised shipping in 1968 was relatively short-lived, as the subsequent introduction elsewhere of much larger container ships meant that the company’s vessels, which were restricted to a maximum length of 530 feet (160 m) imposed by the ship canal’s lock chambers, could no longer compete economically.
Manchester Liners ceased operations in 1985.

It’s got the right “CJ” Hereford reg plate Dean.

[punchy_dan]

Dean I don’t think the saviem is A&H ,it possibly is ATH ,Tony someone from nr Ilkeston ,he could be on the ore team video ? .

[deanb]

W & H Brown.

[240_gardner]

I’ve no idea who did the curious sleeper conversion on the Eastham Kitchens’ 400 Series, but I have Atkinson’s negatives of this motor when brand new, as a day cab.

It operated out of Copse Road, Fleetwood, along with at least one 200 Series. As I recall, Eastham folded in the mid 1980s

Had another look at that pic Dan and like you say it looks like ATH on the drivers door. But if you enlarge
the pic it clearly shows A & H on the trailer. Therefore i dont know chap ■■?

One of Eastman Kitchens early vehicles was this Leyland Comet luton van.

Eastman Kitchens later joined forces with kitchen appliance company Burco of Rose Grove in Burnley.
This enabled them to supply a fully fitted kitchen complete with integrated Burco appliances.
