Dean just to say thanks to you and your team off photographer for your efforts throughout the last year, much of the input I find being a big memory jerker of the years gone bye and realise how long I have been involved with the haulage industry. Many of the pictures of companies that no longer exist yet I remember seeing them almost on a daily basis during my driving career before moving on to being a desk driver, I know I speak for so many followers of this great thread so keep it coming in 2020, seasons greetings to all contributors but especially your team, have a good one, cheers Buzzer.

"Are Croomes still going ■■ "
Snapped May 2018 Dean. Merry Christmas to yourself, Paul and Mark, along with your other commitments you do a cracking job.
Oily
A merry christmas to you Dean ,Paul and Mark for your efforts with this fantastic thread. Durhams of Teesside became part of PD logistics as you can see wagon is pulling an old liveried Durhams tanker. Think PD stands for Powell Duffryn group they now run Teesport and Hartlepool ports.
Bulmers were originally from Malton North Yorkshire ended up with a depot in Middlesbrough, drove for them part time always had good kit, had up to 100 units then went bust couple of years ago. This picture taken parked up in Workington port did a lot of work in and out of Eastmans Workington.
The Tilcon Foden S39 in Metalairs advert was probably one of two destined for our Ballidon quarry in Derbyshire Dean as they had the smaller tanks? We had TRB 132K and TRA 243K driven by Harry Glover and Ian Slater, both long gone alas. I did several trips to Metalair at Sutton Bridge to either collect brand new tankers or a new chassis which had the old tanks removed from the previous trucks refurbished. They had two mobile fitters, one (Rick) lived locally to the factory and was sadly killed in a road accident and the other (Steve I think??) was also a local lad but was based in Cheshire. Both did work at our quarry converting the tanks from probe to pad discharge which took a couple of days work for each one. Thank’s for posting, and have a Good Christmas.
Pete.

I always wondered what happened to Durhams,now I know. Bob Durham had a big fleet at one time doing a lot of work for ICI. They won “Haulier of the year” sometime in the 70s. They took over Sandersons of Middlesborough who ran some trunks to Lichfield changing over with S Protheroe from Swansea.
Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you all.
HOLLIS transport started trading just south of reading on a small farm unit.
Moved into Reading with a new contract and bought 3 little F86 tractors from me, big step up from the D800 range.
Not to many years later got gobbled up by a big fish, Q&A if I remember right. wow that pic brought back a few memories, thanks Dean.
Thanks again Dean, Paul for all the pics and a great thread, to do what you do and still drive a truck is amazing, happy Christmas to all. Harvey
