BRENLEE or BRENLEA?
They had lettered the trucks(the F88s) before name registration and found out Brenlea had been taken so used Brenlee Instead. They didn’t change it. They ran a mix of F88s and F89s.They had MTL on the doors Mersey Trucking Ltd It was Peter Reardens (now Mcburney)old company. Harry Haughton from West derby village put a F89 on for them in the same livery.

just added some pics and info in this topic, but also in the pic forum.
Don,t have any pics of any Liverpool hauliers even of the firm I worked for in the early 70`s (Kirkdale Lewis Haulage) of Charleywood Rd, Kirkby Ind Estate as it was then known!
I was a fitter for them in the garage when the labour govnmt. brought in the 3 day week in the early 70`s and then we were takem over by K&G haulage of Preston who promptly sold all the wagons and kept 6 wagons for the “US Lines” container contract and moved the ERF,s to their Preston depot at Bamber Bridge, I think it was Cuerden Mill lane opposite the Lancs. County Council workshops who incidentally had a “Diamond T” recovery truck which I am told was a petrol engined beast!
But for those who might be interested in steam wagons there is in the St. Helens Transport Museum a photo of a line up of Kirkdale Lewis steam wagons (approx 25 /30 of them) at their old yard in Cherry lane Kirkdale.

Sammy Banner had one of those Fodens with the inward sloping windscreens on tanker work in the 70s.It was 6-wheeled unit,but i can’t remember what model it was called.
Weren’t BRS on Studholme street as well? I remember Ritsons and Gaskells and was it Tower Transport that did meat haulage as well as Union Cartage? My memory aint what it used to be. 
I’m trying to remember a L’pool fruit haulier with red or maroon Leyland Octopussies.I thought it was H.B and H but they were from Newton-Le-Willows.
