South Wales Hauliers sixties and seventies onwards (Part 1)

hi all,
llanelli based john and irene anderson own a rigid scania and this very clean erf ec14.both of these motors will be out and about next season :sunglasses: .

Good to see the Andersons new ERF, look forward to seeing it out and about next year. Have you noticed Andrew we seem to have an a predominance of ERF’s among our members who live between Swansea and Carmarthen? [daibootsy,EC14 and now this one]

Also the Caerphilly area seems to have attracted a few Scania V8’s.

GWYNNE BOWEN.

Brings back memories of the 60’s “dai B”, I had the priviledge of meeting both Gwynn, the old man, and Vivienne his son on a number of occaisions when we were in their depot with the Octopus and trailer. Jack Reece was their manager and where we always got a re-load off Bowens,mainly tin plate for Lancs or Carlisle,on the odd occaision when they couldn’t fix us up we loaded off Trevor Phillips but Bowens was our main provider.They were really grand people to deal with and at that time would probably be the No 1 haulier in S.Wales,well they seemed to be to me,I was only in my teens after all !! Cheers Dennis.

Aye the Bowens, Ive loaded many a time off them usually Bryngwyn Mill, allways for Westhougthon MBC, , like Dennis says good folk to deal with, the only one I new was Viv, Nice chap, his work boots were allways shining. Happy days. Larry
