Hi,Chris yes thats the one,there was some scandal at the time about them but I can’t remember what it was.
There was another firm came to mind the other day,Reg Morris Green lorries used to do milk tanks always seemed to be rushing about.
I was talking to a lad down at the harbour he was telling me je’d been taking truck pics for years ,I was asking him about Stockton and he’s having a look thro his pics for me ,he lives in Belfast so I’m going up to have a look at them,just to let you knoe I haven’t forgotten ,You are on Irish rigs aren’t you ,there was a guy posting on their that his dad worked for N.I.T. in the yard that Stokcton took over ,it was in reply to one of my posts.
Still lookig for you.
regards derek.
If you look for Fry’s Transport pic on Irishrigs that I posted Fry’s have the yard that Stockton worked out of.
Thanks for that Derek,I only remember the name Saunders because of the “Long Itchington” address on the wagons,and I believe an old mate of mine went back home to Nuneaton after wife trouble and went to work for them but where he is now I don’t know. I also remember Reg Morris and his low-flying milk tankers,green motors I think,like S.J.Barugh from Caton,Lancs who is still going.
I’ll have a gander at the Irish and Fry’s Transport.
Cheers,
Chris.
