Looking at that Barlow and Hodge tanker makes me realise that many had the handrails missing on the catwalk, Tilcon were just as guilty! I suppose a few lads fell off over the years but that would be “Your own fault lad, don’t come moaning to me when you recover” from the gaffer!

Tarmac Cliffe Hill s S39 s had a step welded to the front of the body, the driver of one had ticketed it for bad weld on the step. Somehow another driver was sent out on it when he used it down he went , his wedding ring caught on the body n ripped his finger off. I’m reliably informed that it never went to court.

kmills:
G’day Dean - great pics again, thank you.
Re the pics in France, I’d say they’re in Bolougne, but I could well be wrong of course.
Anyways, most of the vehicles have 59 or 62 number plates, which is Nord Pas de Calais department -
Cheers Keith
Good point Keith never thought about looking at the reg numbers !

Chris Webb:
Morning Dean.
Bell Line drivers used to changeover at Symonds Yat in the 70s,they had marked out bays for parking.
I think Bevans of Newport was one of the main contractors for Bell Line at the Welsh end,not sure about Middlesborough.The ERF in the photo has a Cardiff reg.
Thanks for the info Chris.

Bit like the grain bulkers. Remember as a kid walking over the load pulling the sheet from the front to the back of the trailer. Easy to
loose your footing and fall over the edge !

Hi Dean,
Been busy mate, a bit of a promotion and have to stay away a couple of nights a week now in hotels, prefer a cab to be honest!
The pic of the below TM, I pass their old yard every Sunday morning and have been racking my brains trying to remember the name of the company!
I think that Bedford was Detroit powered, may be getting confused with Dixons from Kidderminster though!, Central Plants yard was other side of the canal to the Round Oak pub and is now occupied by housing, Cheers Pete
Foxbury Farms TM, went on to be a 4x2 wrecker with Edwards Recovery, later to become Wessex Recovery, drove that a few miles, had a V6 Detroit in her

That ERF is more likely to be John Stephens Transport Newport . He had several like that in Bells colours with Jennings cabs ,and also F86 and F88 Volovs ,hey Dean another gem from South Wales ,thanx MT
Ray Smyth:
Not connected with the above, are you
aware of any decent pictures of Ripponden & District vans, they would call at my depot several times a week ? Kind Regards, Ray.
Well Ray better late than never.
Here’s a shot of a Ripponden & District Commer taken in Stockport in January 1966.

Hi all. The blue Roadtrain may be WRJones of Rhiwderin later Caerphilly on the same estate as CVH and Kelvin Ward, Pant-Glas?
The ERF YHB 604T is a Merthyr Tydfil registration HB, and may well of been new to Triumph Business Systems of Pentrebach light green with dark green sign writing. They ran a nice private fleet delivering office furniture metal filing cabinets etc.
The Deutz WNY 11T may of been run by GDJ Price of Newport when new, but not in that photo.
Cant remember if NY is Newport or Bargoed as Caerphilly is KG I think!
If the deutz was supplied by Severnside Commercials it would be Newport, Rhymney Valley Motors it would be Bargoed.
Alan Price & Sons had WNY 628T, Alan’s son Dai had that new, and JNY 97W and 98W.
Paul
