Harry Coff was a very large concern with tippers and mixers and Ascot based with several pits in the Reading/Bracknell area. They also had some tippers in Buxton. They ran Scammell’s, Leylands and Bedfords. I believe that the M4 later went through some of their land and Coffs did very well financially out of it!

Hay on Wye was legendary , all came to an end when big george Kelly (6’5 semi pro wrestler) chucked a local troublemaker through the pub window without opening it first . Longson got banned after that , also the transport manager was fed up with the aggro . I always stayed at Griffs at Winforton , pack into his car at night , down to the Boat Inn . One of Longson drivers wed a local girl and ran the Sun Inn across the road from the cafe . Happy days , nearly 50years ago now .
Hi rigsby ,Griffs at Winforton could not remember that name ,as well as Sam ,Kendricks of Walsall were always their along with the likes Cartwright from Stourbridge hauling foundry sand for Margham
i think Griffs also acted as a change over with BRS Dudley and Swansea ,Briton Ferry Steel used the old railway yard at Eardisley just down the road .
Hay on Wye was indeed legendary Dean ,with again the likes of Kendricks Fodens ,i can remember one tipping over near Brecon a 6x2 artic , the Sun Inn at Whitney on Wye still functions .
Did any of you drivers use the toll bridge at Whitney for a short cut to Hay ? yes Happy day regards Keith

Thanks for the comments Keith.

There’s a feller on FB whose dad drove for BRS Swansea who contracted for Briton Ferry Steels,this photo shows Eardisley station in steam days with Briton Ferry Steels AEC MK5s on the right,awaiting changeover.They were double shifted on that job IIRC.Not my photo.

Morning All,
Eardisley station is now a private house and the yard is a small ind est, I think the Winforton Cafe is a fishing shop now. Cartwrights from Stourbridge is a name from the past, I have a pic somewhere of one of their Guy Invincibles will post it if I can find it! Cheer’s Pete

Morning Dean,
The Magnum is one of Alan Taylors whose yard in alongside the A38 at Barton under Needwood,

pete_smith · 24 June 2021 03:57

Aspray’s head office was in Noose Lane Willenhall hence the Wolverhampton phone number but they had depots nationwide, chucked the towel in a couple of years ago now,

Probably not much help on where this Atki was from Dean, but the AH prefix is Norfolk/Norwich.
