Williams Bros , yard in Altami, near Mold, 1976

Hi steelboyf10,
Have you got any of Williams Bros Madley depot near Hereford ? Great pics that you have posted over the last few days.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Dave, sadley not, were they yellow and blue?, I seem to remember, I have a few Willy Bros pics I will throw up later…god I hate footy!!! :unamused:

As they say, same meat different gravy!, the F10 was run by a subby from the west country for TNT, IPEC depot was in Northampton, now TNT Worldwide or was when I last worked for them…link to this tread…they have a depot in Wales!

Photos from “the Dav”, dont know much about the firm or truck but has had a bit of a knock!

steelboys run 2006…ish, this pic just reminds me of a scene from Convoy!

thats a real polished door you have there Mr C!
this could well be a williams Bros Hereford Motor :wink:
could be an ex Bulmers Motor?

returning from the Steelboys Northern run, or as called the Arse Upards Run!, we called into see Lance Biscombe and Parky, with his fleet of fridge motors, more recently seen with bulk waste trailers

A few Dee Valley motors from the Dav collection, thanks Paul


a rouge F12 from Williams Bros, in a livery which was around just before the buy out by “the juggling man” mob! TDG

so, humour me with these, not great pictures as they were ones I took in 1977, I had a new Olympus Trip Camera…thought I was the kiddie!, then found out I had bought film for slides not pictures…or thats how they came back!
Yard near Mostyn docks, Nuttalls ran a nice fleet of British trucks
driven by Dave, who went on to work with me at TNT Deeside on the Newsfast job…now that was a job!..Wapping 1986?, wish I had taken my camera, we used to have a lone picket turn up at TNT Deeside, we used to offer him tea!!
Alf Parry s yard, now an Asda in Connahs Quay, bit like Cabot Cove but without any fishing Boats! :laughing:
S80 Foden, driven by Jimmy a long serving driver at Parrys.


few Prichard to wind the job up for tonight!, again thanks Paul, great photos

Oh look one of those recycled U boats like sammy dog has…any news?, is it painted yet? :wink:
and it wouldnt be complete without some Caddie fest!

tricky those A5 bends… yard shot from the bent F10 earlier


so thats just about exhausted my North Wales truck pictures from the DAV,and a trip down memory lane for a good few no doubt!

Bit of show and shine
keith Storey’s home brew kit! The DAVs mighty F16 Toy truck…
smile for the camera was this there waterloo :laughing: :laughing:
well folk…that caps it off for me :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: and a sprint of 2 ish pages, Andrew the tread is a credit to you, and with some input from those who visit and contribute on a regular basis will get to 300+ before 2012…phew, going to the pub! SBF10

Don’t you mean you took it for it’s annual wash■■?

Evening all, steelboyf10, thank you, boy, oh boy, what a nostalgic memory rush!! fair cheered me up on a dank winter, (I hate the damp), evening. Cyril Forrester, he had the very first F88 that Hartshornes ever sold. Glyn Swain, Evans at Bishops Castle, the late Norman and Tony Lloyd, the Morgan Brothers, ( their fleet long overdue for showing on this excellent thread), all super people to deal with. And not forgetting Cadwallader¬s, what a battle of wits to make profit, but Im happy to say I always did! Those beautiful Fodens of Direct Transport, especially the S39s, slow, yes, but really handsome! Fantastic photographs, great memories, Im off to give the Bollinger a bending, muck spreading tommorow, thanks again, Cheerio for now.
