Morning Dean,
Regarding Dalgety’s mill at Poole, I can remember tipping wheat there in 1990, M.Way had a big presence in there at that time as there was 2 or 3 of them tipping/reloading. Both times I had a wheel off the bridge whilst taring out, paid on the ton so every bit helps!
Nice story Pete ! 
Had alot of happy memories as a kid delivering there in my grandads trucks.

Powered by a Gardner 150 6LX engine Atkinson Mk1 six wheeler Reg No ODJ 706F was originally registered new to Tabern’s of St Helens on the 1st of November 1967.After it’s days at Tabern’s it was purchased by Barrett’s of Delph and is pictured here negotiating the hairpin bend at Greenfield Station in Saddleworth on the 22nd of August 1982.
Today it sports the red livery of F.C.Cooke of Leighton Crewe, although as of January 2015 the vehicle was off the road with a SORN in place.
Great pic’s and info Paul, thanks for posting.

Hi Dean,
Yes the Marsden integral is the same company…i’m not sure if Ellis Morgan are still trading now…they were a very old company and once had a large fleet of Marsden Integrals…in the later years they went on to more artics.Regards Mark
Thanks for confirming that Mark,and for the Mason’s comments.

Dalgety Volvo. Does anyone know if they bought out RHM/Chrisopher Hill’s as they took over here mill in Poole.Yes, Dalgety Agriculture bought RHM Agriculture in 1982. It was a “reverse” takeover in that RHM Agriculture was the bigger company of the two.
Good stuff Graham. Did you work for them ?
