Northwest Trucks

Scott’s 4x2 tractor unit Reg No XBU 66 was an AEC Mercury 7.7 with a five speed gear box which had a top speed of 43 mph.

It is here seen parked on Sherwood Street Oldham in the late 1960s loaded with Martini glass bottles from the United Glass factory at St Helens.

The single axle 28 foot trailer was manufactured locally by Boden Trailers of Higginshaw who in later years would become ‘Crane Fruehauf’.

Werneth Ring Mill in the background has changed very little since this photograph was taken and is still there today.
