0A busy scene in the center of Manchester in 1964 during road alterations near Victoria Station, the CIS building is on the right.In the queue is a Dodge four wheeler operated by T Rowley (Transport} Ltd followed by a Thames Trader with a Scammell Scarab
bringing up the rear.
Another good photo of bygone years.
Rowleys had a large fleet and seem to be round every corner like Beatties. Noticed the Thames Traders and driven a couple of that era and found road handling was iffy and brakes a bit sharp, but some drivers thought they were great. I preferred the Thames 4D. Baxendales supplied most of the building materials for Manchester and believe lead for water pipes from stop tap to drinking water taps. Like photo of Handcart.Cheers Kev
