PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.
This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days

I think you are right in saying this Dennis Their S 80s drive axle was the hub reduction type, They did have oil seal problems IIRC, Regards Larry.

Most seem to have been Dennis, with high ratio diff and hub reduction on the drive axle like the tractor units. British Salt used a similar set up, I guess they did little off road work?

They probably had no need for DD Larry as they only must have run on "hard" surfaces on their job. They used to get up to Millom Iron Works as I recall in the 50's/60's but they wouldn't need DD even though it was a bad road. Cheers Dennis.

Yes Dennis, those worm and wheel diffs did weigh heavy. Those reduction hubs were not light though, but still less than another drive axle.

I seem to think that they (Kendricks) were a victim of the miners strike Dennis and were blacklisted? One of our West Midlands reporters will know for sure! :lol:

The two fuel stations at Ross were run by the Kenning Group, who also ran the two at Strensham at the time. I spent a few months running the ones at Ross in my mis-spent youth until I got pi**ed off with working weekends with no extra pay!

Dean,

ANY photo of a 240 Percy powered Big J will do,however a Smith of Maddiston,of which I drove for,would be capital!!!......as you must be aware,Dennis Smith,aka Bewick,and it must be said others,doubt the voracity of drivers and mechanics that worked on the illusive motor,so a picture would be conclusive!

The first 7 photos are of trucks leaving Poole docks,and on the left was Corralls who were coal merchants.
That road looks completely differnt these days,and Corralls are long gone. The whole road pretty much is
now Sunseeker the luxury boat builer.

David, There will definately be photos of Big J's but i doubt if there are any with a rear / side view of the
engine. However if i see one i will pop it on,trust me its not that easy,too many photos.

Thanks Deanb for going to trouble of posting these Paul Gee photos they are amazing shots of what lorries do day in and day out, and certainly for me capture a time that i grew up in. Remember the Abbey Hill group transporters, bright yellow vehicles as they had a few that ran out of Teesport when the Datsuns used to come in to the country.

Hiya Deano, now notwithstanding what a great site this is turning into you shouldn't get swept along on this evangelical crusade to produce a side on shot of an 8LXB engine Big J :wink: However if Paul has managed this "mission impossible" feat he will go down in the annals of TNUK as "The Greatest" and the dimished numbers of "Believers" will without doubt revere his name for all time ! Now if the shot also were to show that the said Big J was being driven by Elvis that would defo be the shot of the century :shock: :lol: :lol: Congratulations on what is a fine site all the same and keep'em coming Great !

Abbey Hill Group was owned by Roger Bastable who also had a rock band in which he played drums. He was doing well until some whizz kid decided to carry cars on three decks ( and cut the rates in the process!). I believe Roger sold out to one of the big companies of that era but what's left of the memory cell refuses to drag up more details. :roll:
