Hi. I was at Hadleys from 1970 until 1983. I have some old pics, some of which you may have seen before. Once I learn how to use this site I will scan some and put them up.
From some of the comments I have read I assume one of the subscribers must be the the son of Derek who drove a dozer for Fentons. I know Chester very well and saw him the other week - he does not change. Also saw Pat Cordery, Brian Podery and Pete Hogarth. Good times
My Dad Derek (Deryn) Rush drove a Dozer for Claude Fentons…
At Richfield Avenue
Clearing Snow at Emmer Green in 1963 for a National cross country run

Cheers Dave.

Hello Steve… Great photos mate…
scammellpainter.
Looking forward to seeing the photos mate. There is a bit that explains how to upload the photos on the index page if its any help…

Yeah, that was my old Grandad… Always in the old Binfield Club!!!
I remember Jugger… Had a few giggles with that old boy… Nights out in the Pilot at Greenwich while loading Tunnell Gold listening to him stutter while eating peas and drinking pints… I still have nightmares!!!
Used to repair Sonning Haulage’s trucks when they had two BMC Mastiff four wheelers, and later they had a 6x4 Super Mastiff and a Scammell Routeman which we fitted a new axle casing to under warranty.

Well done! I think that they were supplied through Gibbs of Bedfont but we serviced them at Morris Garages, Castle Street, Reading.
Be nice to see them photo`s mate. Bruce is still pulling the pigs with a Scania Topline still in cream and red but I know its only him now. I remember Joe Gray with his fleet of brown cattle trucks had a big yard between Arborfield and Eversley and used to own Fleet Hill Farm. His old yard is still there and Colemans Building Supplies are in there now…
When you say a fleet of Brown cattle trucks, one of them wouldn’t have been a Leyland Octopus & Drag would it? I recall one coming to our sale back in 1966, it was a dark brown 8 wheeler & drag & it sounded lovely. It’d be great to get a photo of that lorry, it was lovely.
