Hello

Has anyone any photos of Gilbert Brown’s timber lorries of Hawkshead?

Sure the company still runs a few along with the boat trailers

Kindest regards

Hi CG

Not sure if they do have any still on timber ?

Used to see a waggon and drag in the BSW mill at Carlisle , but have not come across it for a while !.

Meet the one pulling the boat trailer up here now and again though.

Some more CG from the northwest with thanks to MÃ rtainn.
Cheers

Hello dingo

Funny enough, I haven’t seen a Gilbert Brown with a timber trailer or boat trailer for years!
See them often with a Hawkshead Brewery trailer or a Canute

The drag you are referring to, is that the Seddon Atkinson Strato they once had?

Hi dingo, I often have a walk down to the pier at Barcaldine if i’m tipping fish food in the top shed.
The lad who drives the Campbell motor with the rangers scarf in the window always gives me a wave when I pass him either up north or down in the Lockerbie area. To date i’ve only seen you a couple of times, but keep my eye open for you when i’m down near James Jones!

A couple to keep the thread going.
