Taken in uskmouth power station

Dai, Uskmouth could be a pain to tip in, if they allowed you to tip on the stockpile ok, but otherwise que up to tip through the floor into a hopper/belt. Newport docks to Uskmouth x 6 daily if I remember 1989 ish. There used to be lines of trucks everywhere, Newport docks probably the worst, full and empty lorries sharing one weighbridge, patience was a virtue.

Hi Martryn, late 80s Penllyne grew quickly especially when they started going up the road. I think they got a lot of Williams Bros Cross Hands work after they packed in, and they then started subbing out a lot of local work.
Jeff paid on time but took his full share of the rate.
