Hi Dean, Some of the pictures on this post caught my eye in particular. Around the time of 2008, we did a weekly run to Hypnos
in Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire, carrying a full load of Mattresses made by Remploy Textiles at West Float, Birkenhead.
Hypnos produced beds and mattresses, and were by Royal Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen.
Wincanton lorries are a regular sight around here, carrying food products from H.J.Heinz at Kitt Green, about 1 mile from where I live.
White Arrow lorries were seen very often, they operated from a huge Mail Order building, not far from Heinz.
I remember Taylor Barnard had a depot quite close to junction 25 M6. I have put a reply regarding “Empire Cedric” on the Removals thread.Regards, Ray
Thanks for your comments Ray about the various companies. Sent you a PM re ferries.
