PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION (Part 1)

Frankydobo:
Thanks for the comments “tyneside” For some reason dont seem to have much from your part of the world.

This one may interest you.

I remember being immediately drawn to this Peter Davies article when I used to buy Truck and Driver but being disappointed after reading it as it made no mention of the well known Tyneside haulier Ouseburn Transport (also known as R Steenberg & Son) situated on the Quayside and who held the largest warehousing facilities both sides of the River Tyne, it did mention AW Ellis who I worked for as a young Apprentice but no photo of their vehicles, something I still haven’t been able to come across, even the Northeast thread with its excellent set of photo’s hasn’t shown any to date. All I can add is pics of their model vehicles I’ve built. Franky.

bend just past the yard gates? I think.but for the quayside you would always see a steenbergs or
ousebourn motor :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: - :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

The scammel in the Charles Robert advert is Nickerson s from rothwell near Leeds They also had a depot on grange lane in Scunthorpe now scania dealers can also remember them running bisons & seddon atki 8 wheelers interestingly they were also Saviem dealers

Good stuff Hargreaves. :wink: You would think that they would operate Saviem’s if they were a dealer ■■ :unamused:

Weren’t they a Grimsby based company Hargreaves? Or was that the Nickersons who were seed merchants?

Will see if i have anything on Nickerson’s Chris. :wink:
