Can’t honestly say that I recall the bridge fodenway , although I must have passed under it on numerous occasions on my way to Manvers colliery . I’m going back to the late 60s here by the way and I have no idea as to what year the bridge would have been dismantled .
Coming over Woodhead and via Penistone , Silkstone Common and Barnsley , this bridge would have been a feature along the route to Manvers would it not ?
Great photo nonetheless . Takes me back to a time when I really enjoyed the job .

No confusion where this was taken. As there are two of them with the van I can only assume it was a removal on board. I know people move to live everywhere and I remember when I was about 8 year old going with one of our vans moving a new land lord into Tan Hill Inn, the highest pub in England but I can’t remember a Removal to John O’Groats
Looks a couple of hippies hitching a lift
Well I recon the photo came from the 60s. I was trying to identify the van but all I could see was it had a black number plate and I remember from F reg (1967) we were fitting the white front plates and yellow rear plates, and we were very ‘avant-garde’ employing not only female HGV drivers but had one black driver.
Sankey Sugar Leyland wagon and drag passing the old Sheffield market,before the Parkway Wholesale Market was built.
Sunters westbound at Saltersbrook,A628 Woodhead Pass.Looks like a Richmond Road Garage Reiver from Sheffield at back.
I’ve been round that bend many many times day and night,border between South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.

High Street Kensington at dawn, 1972. At that time, I use to deliver newspapers in the courts before school.

Certainly looks like one Eddie.I can only assume it was shipped from the Reich to Immingham and onwards for a preservation group.
I will ask around.

June 22nd 1961. A couple of Pickford’s motors lug a steel girder beam up School lane in Standish heading for Gathurst viaduct a mile or so in the distance during the construction of the M6 motorway . The beam was fabricated at Watson’s in Bolton and was transported to the site via Westhoughton , Wigan and Standish .
There can’t be many on here that haven’t trundled across this beam on the odd occasion over the years .
Photo credit once again to Barrie Old , a former employee of Sir Alfred McAlpine who was employed as an engineer on the M6 contract .

This looks more like Wallasey docks, with the submarine behind it.

The submarine is a German U Boat which had been retrieved from the sea and its a war museum IIRC At Ellesmere Port. But it was 29 years ago and Im an old man now so perhaps im mistaken

Looks to me an ex-WW II Austin.
The factory at top right is served by a branch line the only access of which are small turntables. I reckon the wagons were drawn by horses or by a small tractor.

I reckon that’s very early '50s, not '60s. The newest car on there is a Morris Minor. All the rest are from the early '30s, '40s and very early '50s. The '30s cars would have been off the road by the time the Ten-Year Test came in at the end of the '50s, with only a few late '30s models qualifying. The artic looks like a utility-cabbed Bedford OB to me.

Thanks to Froggy, Oily and Robert. Looking at the cars, I agree it must be early 50s. My assumption that it was early 60s was based on the diving boards at the swimming pool which I always thought came in 1960.
