McVEIGH & HUMBER McVEIGH

Not one of Humber Warehousing finest moments was in 1964 when this Leyland Comet came to grief at the Newport Arch in Lincoln.
The only original Roman arch in the world still open to traffic, and regarded by many as a national treasure, this accident must have cost Humber Warehousing’s insurance company a fortune.
The picture below shows Newport Arch as it is today.
