Nice to see one of J.Johnstone’s on here. They used to ship via Poole alot and always run smart
motors.

That is one nice looking wagon Dean.
Do you remember a French outfit called Mesguen from Roscoff,I think they shipped through Poole,carried fish?

As far as i know Chris, Mesguen are still going used to see them alot through Poole and they had a depot
at Cherbourg.

1Blundell & Rimmer Haulage Contractors Ltd were from Burscough working mainly out of Liverpool
delivering fruit & veg as well as being potatoe merchants,

Their livery was strikingly similar to R. A. Larkin Transport Ltd below of nearby Knowsley who
were also in the same game transporting fruit and veg.

I THINK they may have a depot in the UK, whether it’s just an office or they actually have wagons based there (unlikely ) I don’t know…
