Old North East haulage companies (Part 1)

Chris Webb:
H.Tarren from Crook was another,did a lot of work for Pickford Holland who made refractory bricks.And have Burn Brothers been mentioned “Tyne,Tees,Wear and Clyde” on the front of their motors.Simpson Bros from Stocksfield was another IIRC.
I think Sandersons were taken over by Durhams at Billingham,I remember they ran a trunk to Lichfield in the 70s changing over with S.Protheroe from Swansea(or was it Illtyd Thomas :unamused: ).

I used to go into Pickford at Crook when I was about 11 [emoji23]
