HI M F M .YOU will be right i only remember Allisons lorrys being there after H B H had left . The cafe i remember was on the A 49 towards N EWTON LE WILLOWS some where by the turning for Earlstown used to call there on our way back from a lorry dealer in AShton in Makerfield. happy days Barry Waddy
The cafe you are on about was the Albion cafe on Newton high street, the one i am on about is the Woodlands cafe that sat on HB&H’S yard although it was before they had moved in.
I don’t know if you recall a firm by the name of Johnson Wilde and one called Woodlands haulage, who had the site before HB&H, the Woodlands cafe was there then, HB&H closed the cafe down it is going back a long time.
