Peterborough hauliers

Brilliant work ‘ranger’. I note that the Transcon is the same one as earlier shown plain white.

A couple here from Bradshaw Plant Hire.

Often seen (as above) subbing to Witham Specialist Vehicles at Colsterworth who have the MoD disposal contract.

I am surprised Perkins ran an EC11 and not a EC12. :slight_smile:

Great thread and very interesting as I am often around Peterborough.

A couple more Bradshaws ( who I drive for :wink: )

Anyone remember Ivor Slaughter from Warmington? He ran a couple of ERFs including this KV pictured below and later this A Series both with Gardner engines. Before his yard was cleared I took a few pictures of some of his past motors dumped in the field next to his house.

Ivor’s 4 wheel ERF KV has been restored in its original livery.

His 6 wheel LAD Dodge has also been restored by Rob Lea.

His eight wheel KV and his eight wheel LV (…not A’ Series) ERF tippers are both safely stored.

Smart DAF from the Hotpoint fleet, after they changed their livery from blue and white.

I’d just like to take the opportunity to thank those of you who have allowed me to use photos from their own personal collections, most notably
‘ERF’ (Martin Wilcox) and ‘leadfoot’ (John Thomas). Please accept my apologies for any photos I’ve used that haven’t been credited, but please feel
free to add any that may be of interest. I’m sure there’s lots more out there!

ERF operated by Chas. W. Shelton, Peterborough based building contractor.
Sheltons also owned what was, in its day, the largest department store in the City.

I have a few more pictures of R&H Lewis

These photo’s were lent to me by John Groom the former transport manager

I have some pictures of the later cream and red livery which I will post another time

One of Thory’s, taken from ‘lorryspotting.com’ website.

One of Pollards, i’d guess taken at the East of England Show, and displayed on the Sellers and Batty stand.
