That’s a great pic, they do look good. They ran them similar in the 90s I think they were volvos, coming from leominster, they always stood out. Thanks
They were more of a special tipper than a tanker and used for transporting chocolate crumb, which was made at Marlbrook. The story was, and it might be a myth, that chocolate crumb had to be made at a separate factory to Bournville, because if crumb and liquid chocolate were made on the same site then the chocolate wouldn’t set. Sounds like a tale to me but bulk sugar delivering drivers were told that at Marlbrook. And they did, and still do, take a lot of sugar every day.
