PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.
This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days

Hi Dean think this Borderer could have been a sub contractor for Durhams from Teesside as he is pulling a Durhams trailer which has a load of steel rod more than likely loaded from the rod mill BSC Lackenby. My dad worked in the trailer scheme there loading loads such as this for all the hauliers involved, from the late 70,s until he retired.

This wagon although Kieth has identified as been from a haulage company from Wales does have a North East (Durham) registration so maybe second hand.

Hi Dean, Just as you suggested earlier, I have been back to page 179 from February 2018. I had forgotten that I posted
a few pictures of my Ex Bass Charrington TL Bedford, which, when new, was fitted with Linkliner sliding door bodywork
by Boalloy. I very soon had it converted to a curtainsider. Also the interesting comments that Bass removed any makers
lettering from the radiator grill, in this case B E D F O R D , I hadn't noticed that it wasn't there. :oops: :)

Cheers, Ray.

South Wales haulier? Not since the days of Glyn's dad! Glyn ran his fleet from the old Weston's Biscuits depot at Lea Line then moved to the former Norman Cash's Kilcot Garage, just over the border into God's Own County. Photo was taken before livery was applied- unit dragged into service to load a trailer for the next day. Just a guess!

Morning Dan and Jerry,
The Iveco was Dave Hentons and it originally pulled a fridge for Dave on Euro work, Italy and Spain I think.Looks like he is on his way to Stadco at Shrewsbury.
The Transcon Jerry I think you are correct in saying it was Metrics but I can only remember him on Castle Services along side Porky! Cheer's Pete

The unit is painted in Coldtream's livery which was the name Express Dairies used when it merged it's two distribution divisions in 1989. The trailer would have been in the old livery whilst the unit has not been fitted with the Coldstream logos.

Good stuff Keith & MT. :D :wink:


With regard to the export question. I must admit i would not have known the answer although would have flicked a coin as it
had to be either Leyland or Bedford. I would have gone for leyland personally due to the number of models that they sold.

However it was infact Bedford that sold over 53,379 truck's abroad in 1975. That works out at 4448 per month or 1026 per week !

Over the 10 year period they sold 461,743. Bedford have sold vehicles in about 120 countries ! :shock:

Thanks to coomsey,gingerfold and marktaff for your answers. :wink:
