Posted these two photos of Harrison & Jones Fodens from Royton near Oldham a long time ago.
But since then found some articles and odds and sods about the vehicles and company.
Click on pages twice to read. Anyone who remember’s the Motor Transport newspapers will remember they were like the old Times newspapers
and huge. So you need to drop down to page 2 to finish each colum of writing as they are so long its impossible to scan on one page.
Interesting reading about the compacting foam bodys, although they didn’t sound to be a success having to leave time for the foam to re-expand, surprising that they then ordered the newer foden?
Great to have you back on here Dean, missed this thread.

There was a haulier that use to have a yard on the Upton industrial estate that used to do the Metal Box work out of there Hamworthy
factory. Can anyone remember there name and was this one of his trucks ? I seem to remember Eddie Stobart went in there and took
all the work and he ended up finishing.

Hi Dean, With reference to the SCA Leyland artic, The SCA company was formerly Reed Corrugated Cases, and in later days
became Saica. There were several factories in the UK, This first picture is Reeds large factory at Wigan on the A49, just a stones
throw from M6 Junction 25. Just below the picture to the right was Louis Reece wholesale fruit & vegetable warehouse, and
below the picture to the left was the modern depot of Robert Baillie & Co Ltd, whereas now, Baillies site is Sainsburys large
supermarket since 1995, I go there once a week for food, milk, beers, & wine, and get points on my Nectar card. Click the
pictures for the full image. 
Cheers, Ray.
