It can be very tight there Dave he’s lucky it’s only a Radbournes nipper, not something big with a wide sleeper cab.

No Keith. Bayliss Bros operate from the yard below Mervyn’s, Phil & Perry Bayliss also have a commercial repair business and tyre depot on the same premises.
Phill Preece has a yard not far from Rotherwas, Hereford.

John Williams who drove this artic passed away about 2 years ago, and worked for Jean Sharples looking after the big greenhouses that she owns.He was in his early 80’s and drove their first and last artic.

One of your wagons had an argument with a telegraph pole about 12 months ago John. It was about 2 miles from where I live, by a nasty narrow bridge.
I came past there, just after it had happened. Hope all was OK.
Cheers Dave.
Where was that by Dave was it a 26tonner rigid or 7.5 or artic
