Nice pics of E & F Beattie remember them well.
Had a coal yard and railway sidings on Bennett street Ardwick. Their garage was also on Bennett street although not in the same place. Seem to remember they had a right mix of Wagons.
Hi flishflunk.They ran quite a few Leyland and Albion six wheelers for coal movement from over yorkshire and also 4 wheeler Thames Traders which were used mainly for the movement of coke to the local foundrys and schools around manchester and the outskirts.
