The good old days, ppe was at a minimum, love the swimming trunks ! Tarmac’s Surfacing Gang from Maltby, early 1980’s looking at the khaki transit van…
Wonderful pic there Tarmac! Can almost smell the freshly laid dense bit! 
Great times when you were on the black job.

If you mean the road to the right as you enter Maltby from Hellaby then the answer is yes, though it was all empty and for sale when I last went that way earlier this year.

Hi pete,it was sold a few weeks ago whoever bought it is renting offices out at £25 a week.Ideal premises for a haulage company.paul.
Yes, that would be where the Maltby Gang were based, and until very recently National Contractings Main Office, now they are based at Bellmoor, Retford…The old North Notts Sand & Gravel quarry…
Look on page eight of old time lorries picture of a north notts gravel scammel and a leyland reiver mixer from qualbatch,titled MIXERS.
Its not khaki, but next best is Derbyshire Stone blue Tarmac Livery…Tarmac, Briggs and Derbyshire Stone merged in 1968 to be called Tarmac Derby Ltd, but very soon after just Tarmac…but the blue livery of Derbyshire stone continued well into the 1990’s. Pictured one of the tanker fleet used on Industrial Minerals (limestone filler on the outward journey) usually from Caldon Low or Middle Peak Quarries…
