tanker companies

I remember some of the tank companies on your list.

A few more to jog your memory :confused:

Smith and Robinson in Rothwell. Ancliff of Manchester. Bulwark in Chippenham
Andrew Hogg Kilsyth and Carntyne Transport. There was one other from Montrose I cant remember at the moment

I remember the old tankwash on trafford park which was called Bartank and housed the Fifth Wheel Cafe, quite close to the new site of Thurroclean which has been taken over by Isotank.

Ron Hennesy :open_mouth:

Leathers Chemicals who ran some tankers, had most of the work done by Pickfords, Tankfreight Exel who originally traded as Harold Woods in Heckmondwike.

Calor Transport, Arrow Bulk and Croda Oils ran tankers from Hull.

The P&O group had several old names in the group.
John Forman
Thomas Allen
Robert Armstrong
A S Jones
James Hemphill

In later times there were several more involved in the food industry.
Charles Lucy became Yeoward Brothers and then Abbey Roadtanks
William Brennan.
Fleet Haulage. from Ribchester.
Stag. became City Tankers.

This should get the topic kickstarted
