Hauliers from around Lancaster & Surrounding area's

This is a shot of a J.B. Hudson Ltd motor shot in '76 at the time I bought out the Davy & Co ( Grange) Ltd’s Haulage interests which as well as J.B. Hudson Ltd also included J.L.Ion Ltd. ( another old Milnthorpe haulier) and of course K. Fell & Co the main trading name of Davy & Co. When J.B. Hudson of Sandside sold their haulage fleet to Athersmith Bros of Barrow in 1960 the name went with it and this left the heavy commercial repair and Leyland dealership which assumed the title of Hudson Engineers Ltd. Athersmith Bros. then sold J. B. Hudson Ltd to Davy & Co in 1966. When I purchased the Davy haulage interests in 1976 exactly 10 years almost to the day when Davy’s had bought the firm off Athersmiths and at this time J. B. Hudson Ltd was a non trading co. with £30,000 cash in the Bank ! I just kept the name of K.Fell & Co Ltd in operation and de-listed the Hudson and Ion names. Cheers Bewick.
