Old livestock hauliers shropshire

hi dave
i never asked about annow int but was operated by ae jones possibly as a separate company when they were on the export job. i will ask norman jones when i see him
as for jukes fleet i think this was the fleet when photo taken probably 1968. the other aec marshal was OCJ 875G and les morgan drove it at that time.
the bedford is FVJ 556D

Hi John. who or what was Annow International as seen on Jones livestock bodies?
Is the Jukes’s photo taken in Richards yard? The leyland must be JVJ 758E and one of the AEC marshalls NCJ 340G. How many did Jukes’s have?

S J Morris also covered Shropshire, I have been told this vehicle is parked in shed in Trefonen

heres a few of my pics to stir some memories

Topline this is a stunning photo are the AEC’s 4 or 6 wheelers the Leyland is a Super comet isen’t it .
John

the aec’s are six wheelers “marshals” as they were badged and correct the leland is a 4 wheel super comet

Hi 143 John,
I know Norman Jones quite well,had a chat with him the day we took the pics.he lived up this way for a while,and used to come to Country & Western evenings that I run. Dennis Lewis had a blue six wheeler 3 series Scania when he finished,sadly he passed away soon after.But he worked until he was 73,not bad going.
Cheers Dave.

Hi jonmea,
Derek retired a few years ago,had a four wheeler FL6 curtainsider the last few years he was operating.
Cheers Dave.

thanks for that Dave.

Bowker Brothers did livestock haulage, and although i have loads of photos of the lorries, I don’t have any of the stockboxes. I do however, have loads of happy memories of playing around these lorries as a child.
A couple of names I remember being on the stock there were Harry Jarrett, and Joker Preece.

Also one of the drivers from ET Rowlands who drove a stock box was Bill Allen, and I do have a recent photo of him. A face that tells a thousand stories, and I’ll post it up as soon as I get the OK from him.


Just over the border,from Shropshire,here’s one of M E Edwards and Sons of Llanfair Caereinion .

Hi 143,
I remember Jukes well with the AEC’s and Bedfords,they used to do quite a bit of general haulage in the 60’s,they did quite a bit for Passey Nott & Co from Kington,who my Father drove for,they used to fetch quite a bit of bagged slag from Margam,also other bagged loads,also Archer’s had Stock lorries as well,from Leintwardine.
Cheers Dave.

Nice pics :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Keep them coming

( out of my area so can’t really add anything )

Hi Fin,
The Constructer was a good lorry,there are several still around as you know. Powys Petrolium have got two of them on the same work as you do,the driver who delivers here swears by them,handy to get in tight places and plenty of grunt.
Cheers Dave.

constructors were good waggons a bit rough when empty if you had the old albion axles i had one a 27 foot flat with sleeper cab a 2421 with a fuller gearbox ianto
