Couple of photos of our Atkinson with Gardner Engine. Bit dirty, particularly as we had an automatic vehicle wash that would wash from front to back including roof of tractor & trailer complete, but in defence that tractor unit had not been back to Spennymoor for over three weeks, changing trailers at our Sheffield depot. At the time we were taking Beds, 3 piece suites, cabinet furniture and flatpacks which had been sorted at our Spennymoor warehouse into areas to deliver to our various depots, which in turn were delivered with smaller vehicles to mail order customers at their homes. This tractor had been picking up trailers which had been shunted down to Sheffield taking onto our London depot, and returning to Sheffield loaded trailers with flatpack furniture which our tractors ferrying trailers to Sheffield would return to our Spennymoor warehouse, to store and draw orders from as the mail order customers bought.
