Morning Dean/Paul,
You are spoiling this Black Country lad today!!
1st pic is Chas Pugh’s from Darlaston, still trading!
2nd pic is Tommy Baker, originally from Tipton, opposite the former Vono bed Factory (remember them!) and now on Cakemore road Rowley Regis, another one still trading… a rare comment to make about old established companies nowadays! Thank you very much lads, much appreciated.T Baker have been going a long time.I remember them in District Iron and Steel down Brasshouse Lane, West Brom when I was backloading out of there in 1968.
Chris,
Tommy Baker had some Dodge’s, the LAD cabbed one’s 308’s?, I will ask permission to borrow a photo for you, Cheer’s Pete
Yes they did Pete now you have reminded me. I’ll bet that District Iron has long gone,a very dismal hole,it was good loading though,angle iron for steel stockholders in Yorks,great for a Sheffield based company.
