PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION (Part 1)

Ray Smyth wrote; Hi Dean, Further to my earlier post regarding the Bass Brewery curtainside trailer with the narrow roofline. This picture is Robert Baillie depot at Wigan, where the paintwork was carried out on the converted trailers.
The bay on the right was fitted with a sealed wall inside, plus heating, lighting, and extractors.
The site, which is just 400 yards from M6, J25 is now home to Sainsbury`s and McDonalds.

Fergusons Transport from Blyth, Northumberland bought some of those ex Bass tautliners, they were excellent for the Paper Reel work and just about anything else, low height and the inclined sides meant you had a good view down either side of the trailer, well built too. Franky.
