Thanks for that. Must have been in the early 70s when i saw one of thier split screen Dafs, having never see one before - was quite a sight to a lorry mad teenager 
.
Seems sad now that firms like that have long gone.
In this area alone, there were quite a few doing European and further afield.Anybody remember, Rex Trotman,Bob Kilby,James Nicholas international,Newpark tpt to name a few. Leggett freightways and Dow freight had depots around here but i see that they
are already mentioned on other threads.
