Hi Baldrick
I was in short trousers when I new Steve & his nickname on Eurohaul was Catweasel as in John Pertwee
Another Lamberts driver on here is Mikey 1964.
Cheers
Rich
Hi Rich… thanks for the info!
I’d heard Catweasel mentioned in conversation before but never realised that was Steve’s Nom de Guerre
I can see why he was called that…
I always had him down as Billy Connelly and funnily enough that is his cousins name in the pic above…
All the best. Stu.

I seem to remember SFM having a yard by Cobden Bridge at one time? They would have left in early '70’s? Blocks of flats there now.

Walking around inside I was shown the whole floor was bowed in leaving a 12 inch gap with just the huge re-bar holding it up.
It turned out to be a stream used many years ago when it was a boat building slip way had washed all the gravel away under the concrete, took a very brave man in the bucket of a cherry picker and a torch to release it, think that is why they moved. Harvey

Dyer’s Boat Yard? Dyer’s still have the land on the opposite bank, but was that their yard too? Or someone else?

Len Seldon was T.M. at Hill of Botley in the early '60’s later moving to Victory Transport which was then taken over by Greenwoods…I worked with him at Victory in the '70’s, he was a very good T.M.and a gentleman too…
