Ah now these I remember like it were yesterday and think they were one shilling & thruppence a bottle back then and money back on the bottle, Buzzer.
A beautifully presented Northern Irish registered Scania 143.
seen on 6 April this year resting on the Wire Works service road alongside the A38 on the North side of Bridgwater.
A absolute credit to the owner/driver. The interior of the cab was up to the same standard.

Those bottles are a bit modern, Buzzer! I remember when Corona bottles had a wire-and-ceramic over centre stopper. And they were 10 pence a bottle then!

Hi Tyneside, Some interesting photos from the 50s/ 60s, I particularly like the photo of Blue House Lane Garage.
With regard to the “Regular” petrol at 4 shillings and threepence a gallon, your mathematical conversion to
todays Metric money is spot on. The little items to the left of the pumps look like one of them is for a shot
of Redex, upper cylinder lubricant,at 1 penny a shot, and the other could be oil for for “Two Stroke” engines
in BSA Bantams , Francis Barnetts, and many other motor cycles,autocycles, and mopeds. The Diesel pump
at the rear looks a bit lonely. Kind Regards, Ray Smyth.

OilyHi Ray & Oily and thanks for the comments. Just after the war an area of Washington, just behind the main street was used for housing ex servicemen and other homeless families and it became known as the squatters, the first man my Father employed in 1947 after starting up lived there for several years, I can just remember it and it was not the best !!! but the people created a community and called it home as some of the photos show. They even had their own car showroom, perhaps Oily can have a go at identifying these.
The motor bike is a late forties Panther, or so I am informed.
The other two photos are of the main gate of RAF Usworth and then what was built there in the eightiesHi tyneside, I would say a Morris Commercial on the milk with the cars a Morris 10, Austin 10, Ford Popular, Morris Series E, Ford Anglia (bumper over riders), Rover 12, Standard 8 and the bus probably a Bedford, if it was a “works” bus it may have the slatted wooden seats.
Cheers

Thanks Oily, you certainly know your cars from that era, did you ever own / drive any of them. The fella I mentioned that worked for my Dad ran a Triumph Mayflower ( think that’s correct) well into the 1960’s
Cheers Tyneside

Hi Tyneside, a bike up until 1957, then a Ford Popular, traded in for a Triumph TR2, in turn traded in for the Zodiac in 1958 that took south of the border as a bus driver where I traded that in for accommodation, a family caravan, free bus travel but a James Cadet motorbike to get to and from shifts so nothing with 4 wheels until I went on car transporters, then Ford 400E van, traded in for the Consul, in turn traded in for a Hillman Hunter estate, now self employed and things looking up so traded in for a new Transit V4 crewbus, then 3 different VW Type 2 vans, a Type3, VW Jetta GLI (a goer), a Type4 and so on, had VWs for 30 odd years(1974 to 2006), did most of my own running repairs until electronics took over from spanners .
