Hi John,they are a blast from the past - NCC Ollerton,was it the National Carbonising Company with a trade name of "Rexco"or summat like that and who was the main contractor for them,I’ve seen a photo somewhere which may have been yours of their fleet lined up in their yard.And Smiles for Miles,I remember them running out of the North-East coking plants,Derwenthaugh,Norwood and Monckton Jarrow spring to mind.
I reckon that Atki of Smiles is ex Hanson,Wakefield going by the reg.Great stuff
Hello Chris it was National Carbonizing Co Ltd (Rexco), the main haulier was J Clarke (Haulage) Ltd of Ollerton who NCC owned, I think all their vehicles ran on B licence, below is an application to add vehicles to a B various licence in the East Midlands from February 1965.
