Hi Hodge, This Bedford S type PRM 778 was supplied new to Maurice & George Graham also identical PRM 777 12th July 1955 with an unladen weight of 3t-5cwt-0qtr The photo location is their secondary yard across from the main yard at Embleton also visible is the Cockermouth, Keswick & Workington railway line now the A66 roadway. A pal of mine had ambitions to drive this wagon when turning 21 but decided to start for ■■■■ Stamper at Dearham.
Cheers, Leyland 600.[/quote
Hiya Gerald, I recall when I were a Lad ! that JWG’s only garage was on the low side of the road at Embleton and it was many years before they acquired the old Quarry over the road. When I was “second man” with both RWB and later AHB they called in regularly at JWG for reasons I knew not ! And if I recall Vic Thompson moved into the original garage when JWG moved over to the larger site on the other side of the road I will stand corrected but that is my recollection . Cheers Dennis.
