Hi Paul good to see you back and a relief that all your hard work was not lost. Pickfords Heavy Haulage had a depot at Kearsley on the A 666 around a mile from the M62 junction and their biggest trailers TM 1120 & TM 1277 were based their and quite a few Scammell contractors IIRC there was more there than any other depot. There were also depot’s in Liverpool and Preston which did a lot of work for Concorde to France.
Cheers Johnnie
As a kid we used to watch Pickfords coming out of Walmsleys who made boilers they came out onto Crompton way (Bolton )Sometimes push and shove what a site in the early 70s .
