My late father Stan Rennison worked for Ancliff for a number of years out of Hull, they were based at Lex Tillotsons on Hedon road (now Imperial Commercials) I remember Big Herbert Hemsworth, Freddie Beach, Ernie Allsop, Jack Dillon,Eddie Gorgon.As far as I know only Fred is still with us.
They used to run the John Smiths bulk beer tanks from Tadcaster and always came away from there with a dozen or so pint bottles ofale, also regularly to Urmston, and beyond, I was driving car transporters for Tolemans out of Hull at the time and often used to pick up my dad or one or two of the others up from Barton truckstop or Birch/Hartshead/Woodside on a fiddle home as I did Hull /Widnes/Halewood almost every day, good times indeed!
Happy new Year to All
