This CWS AEC Mk III was photographed by Roger Kenney in the 1960s, location unknown. The vehicle is signed to Newcastle.
Back in the late 1950s and into the 1960s there was a CWS bakery on the Priorswood Road, Taunton opposite our school. The flour was delivered by 8 wheel tankers and the bread went out via a fleet of maroon Morris Commercial long wheelbase pantechnicons, presumably to deliver to Cooperative depots in the south west.
Now posted on the correct thread!!!
Fantastic photo, Robin, the location is CWS Sun Flour Mills, on Trafford Wharf, (aka Trafford Bar), Trafford Park, Manchester. This mill was operated by Spillers for about 4 years after they acquired it in the J.W. Fench / CWS merger, which was a complicated and convuluted affair that also involved the famous Lyons Bakery (Absolutely huge site) at Cadby Hall in West London.
