I’ve mentioned this subject before but I still find that nobody seems to remember Taylors or Tailors around Urmstone who’se motors I used to see going on the old A50.Smart motors pained blue with a drag and possibly loaded with news print and they had Leyland written on the cab doors.Am I imagine things.They were on the old A50 c late 50

I only remember a Taylor Road in Urmston and Taylor Brothers in Trafford Park who made railway wagon wheels.

Taylors finished being part of BSC Tony,the blanks for the wheels came from BSC (ex SPT) at Templeborough.I did a couple of loads into there int late 60s.
