they used to park on the spare ground opposite The Great Northern Hotel (I think thats the correct pub, or was it something like the Adolphous?) just above Bolling Rd and IIRC their warehouse/office was just behind the spare land up a bit of a bank.
Thinking of Wakefield Rd made me remember Swales transport (RJ Swales?) just below Dudley Hill and Atlas Express on Feather St, also Tanks and Drums in Bowling Back Lane.
ye remember them t&d and newplan furniture and art glass clive coalman he ran over water
Coleman did a good bit of work for the glass factory on Ripley Road, who had quite a fleet at one time.
