Now I know why gardners never took on in western canada !!! By the way Paul bancroft and powers back in the late 1950 s hauled most of the bricks for coalville precinct about three loads a day from whitwick brick yards on several ancient leyland octopuses before cranes .My dads aec in the early 1950 s didnt have a heater. The pay you made there seemed quite good I was on the coaches there a few years before and I was getting about 50 P an hour.
Yes I knew they’d run out of Whitwick brick. I never understood why they sold the lorry side to Fowkes? We only ran out of Desford brick but only on the rare occasion did we come back empty, must have been a payer . Cheers Paul
