HaHa! Could well have done Chris, I will ask him as he lives virtually next door to me, but in a far posher house than a mere tipper driver of course!

And can someone tell me if Earl’s Cement was an off shoot of Blue Circle.
This must have been one of the glamour wagons in it’s day.

And another good wagon of the Peak district.

Some cracking pictures Barry. Have you any of Rogers Ardern’s tippers ? Thanks Sam.

[bonkeydollocks]

Some absolute crackers Barry, absolute ■■■■! A few of which I remember well. The octopus of Goodwin and Forbes was ex Hoveringham based at Dene quarry Cromford. It was involved in a head on crash with one of Alan Newton’s F7s on the Cat and Fiddle one Saturday morning after a flash snow storm. It was parked in the yard for months before towed to Eric Williams yard for scrap.

The Tarmac liveried Octopus was photographed at Cawder quarry Matlock. I never went during its heyday sadly but love the pics that surface now and then, many thanks for snapping it. The DS Octopus tanker is a good un too. They didn’t have many of them, maybe two I think.

If you have any more please post them mate! And here’s a few of Roger Aderns for Derbyshire Foden.
