[Sixties boy]

My grandad worked at the Bradford Road gasworks, people look at me strangely when I say City’s ground used to me a coal mine.

The deck access flats at Beswick had the nickname “Fort Beswick” and the dodgy market across Grey Mare Lane, put Del Boy to shame.

When I first started driving ( mid eighties) Hoyles (senior) used to be based in the old English steel buildings.

When Hoyle (junior) set up his own company he was based on Broadway in Dukenfield.

Obviously my memory is going, can’t remember which company was Frank Hoyle and which was Joseph Hoyle

In the line up waiting to tip, amongst others, is another Reeds Transport LV ERF alongside one of Dexters Atkinson's.

Waiting to remove their sheets before unloading.

A rare sight of a driver folding his sheets with all the curtainsiders on the road today.

The Atkinson Borderer on the left, waiting to unload, was operated by William Nuttall of Clifton near Manchester.

All those loads of reels would have been Newsprint for the likes of the Daily Express and Daily Mirror as well as other Northern based publications.

When my Dad first worked for them ( Andrews & Bond ) they were based at Water St
