Was pleased to see this snap I had taken in 1977, which was on the office wall!
What a great firm … anyone else got any snaps of their trucks?

they did like to spec them well !
Could have done what Mayers did and run with no well board, that way you never got any flat iron work, only coils!
Barry, glad you like em…

Hi Barry
They always bought local trucks, Roland’s next to your yard for the Sed Atki’s and Lancashire trucks in Liverpool, for Volvos
Boswell were one of the first to close, the yard was very smart with all undercover parking, they had a tipper on coke also I remember.

Not sure if they are still trading?, couple of ex Shones drivers worked for them, Brian “curly” Hughes, and Ronnie Jenks, used to do a lot out of Rubery Owen axles to CF at Dereham
Another cracker from The Paul Gee thread worthy of bumping up the North Wales gang, think this motor was written off an the A41 later in life, no doubt loads from P and A in Mold with fence panels in this shot
