These 2 pictures are scenes from the TV Series “Juliet Bravo” which ran from 1980 to about 1985/6.
I remember seeing Chris Metcalf lorries quite often, particularly if I was in the Keighley and Bradford
areas. I believe Tenneco were involved in the Motor Parts trade, and had an operation in Burnley.
Perhaps the Volvo F12 was an owner driver.

The Volvo pulling the Tenneco trailer is interesting. Tenneco were a paper chemical manufacturer on White birk in Blackburn and Western Transport had the distribution and mainly tanker contract, along with a similar operation IIRC at Avonmouth. I’m not sure who’s the Volvo was though, possibly a local outfit as they did use firms nearer to them for other work.
