Hi Guys.

Does anybody have any old pictures or details of the SEG fleet from Hull ? trying to put there history together Thanks

Barry Read wrote a book about his early days of BB Read and mentions working for Valley Transport. owned by Stewart, Esplen & Greenhough.

It was Valley Transport first and became SEG later on.

They did a lot of work for Rowntrees in York but also worked around Hull with Richardson Transport

Are you in York or Hull? Hull has a fantastic history centre and York must have something in Castle Museum about the confection trade. Terrys, Rowntree and Cravens.

I’m interested in Needlers Bluebird Toffees too

Hi Wheel Nut

No I live a long way from both, the project I am working on Is creating a history of NMU(1953)LTD In model form, I have got down to the SEG/NMU vehicles I know some of the SEG vehicles were NMU vehicles, I have made models for many of the fleet , I will be looking at then the contract hire side.

Again thanks

Well I remember Stewart Eslpen & Greenough, AKA SEG, They had a yard in Hull cant recall the street but it was near Barmston Street Cafe IIRC, I worked for F Short & Sons in 1968, They Had a depot in Hull & did a bit work from SEG, We used to tip loads at SEGs for storage & quite often re-load from them for the North East, SEG Were a good lot they also had a depot at North Gosforth which is now a Tyre Spot depot, Its next door to The Murray Hogg Ltd Depot on Sandy Lane, The god old days , Regards Larry.
