Container Haulage in the 70's

Lawrence Dunbar:
I used to do quite a bit container work in the 70s, Subbing to Marsden Freight Services, (DFDS), the containers used to come in at Tyne Dock North Shields, The gaffer was a real nice bloke Jackson Armstrong, IIRC His right hand man was called Colin Daverson ■■, It was a regular job, Not the best rates but Marsdens paid on the dot, Sadley I don’t have any photos, Regards Larry.

My father drove for Marsdens from 1970-75, he was based in Dobsons yard in Straiton. He said it was a good job and company to work for.
