Bowen’s used to load our Octopus and trailer back from S. Wales 9 out of ten times usually from Velindre or Trostre and sometimes from MB Neath.I met both Gwynn and his son Vivienne a number of times but it was usually Jack Reece their manager that sorted us out with 20ton of tin plate for the North West.Nice photo Andrew brings back happy memories of the times I spent in your part of the world! we were always made welcome and I will never allow anyone to say anything detrimental about South Wales.Well I can but I don’t mean it!!! Cheers Dennis.
