Does anybody remember RAMSDENS HAULAGE owned by the Latham family who also owned LATHAM’S TRANSPORTERS AND LATHAM’S AUTOBULK. They also owned Crossley House where Ribble Vally Training Group was based. Walter Latham and Billy Latham used to live in Crossley House befor renting out to Ribble Valley. I worked for Ramsden’s in 1965 and in 1966 moved over to Latham’s car transporters till 1973. Ramsdens was also the agents for M.A.N IN 1973 or 1974. I bought a M.A.N and started on middle east with it in Jan.1975. the old M.A.N served me well for a good few years.

My dad used to work for Ramsdens as a driver a fella known as George Bradley, also my brother used to be a fitter for them at Crossley House, he was called Mal Bradley.

i used to work at ramsdens 77 to79 and i remember mal went to leyland motors from there didnt he i went walton summit trucks from there but left in 88
