roping and sheeting

moomooland:
0November 1972 and in the days before curtain-siders this was the scene at Lloyd’s Transport & Warehousing depot on Water Street Manchester.
In the line up before removing their sheets to unload their reels of paper is Reeds Transport LV ERF alongside one of Dexters Atkinson’s.

That reminds of an episode involving one of Alfred Dexters night trunkers that dumped a load of reels similar to the one on the shot down into a corn field on the hill climbing the A5 north out of Tamworth at Hints. The old Atki and trailer were stood empty on the roadside and all the reels had booled down all over the cornfield ! Cheers Dennis.
