Hi Oiltreader ,
Many thanks for showing the Commer cattle wagon of Sam Cottingham & Sons of West Witton , Leyburn ,
North Yorkshire . Son Miley retired nearly 40 years ago , and the business was taken over , but I cant remember who it was. Dark brown livery , with lighter brown stripes . I had posted Cottinghams name on Yorkshire Livestock Companies ` thread at the beginning of this year .
To see a photograph of one of their fleet ( I am too young to remember that Commer ) is a pleasant surprise .
Any more of those , Oiltreader , please ?
Cheers , cattle wagon man .

Aye , Dennis , you are correct !!
The photograph was take near the promenade at Morecambe , and at that time I was too young to hold a
driving license . If a farmer wanted a cow transporting , then I hitched it up at the FRONT ! Only problem was
finding a return load , `cos the trailer was ■■■■ heavy to pull on its own .
Cheers , cattle wagon man .
