Yes I thought that about the glass lined bit, I used to drive for Shanks, our glass lined tanks were for seriously bad chemicals/acid.
Hi, looking at the front axle bearing cap looks more like the AEC style as used at this time, the letters AEC would be cast into the cap which may have been polished. The cab style looks like the design used by AEC then too I guess mid 1930s.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
Thanks to Kempston, paul motyka and rastone for the pics 
A few from the north, A9 at North Kessock.

Yes I reckon you are right.It’s the cab that made me wonder but looking at the rear axle hubs and photos I remember, they look A.E.Cish. certainly not Albion

Now that’s put a spanner in the works. I do think now that’s the case.I reckon everything including the cab is spot on.

This is a 1929 Leyland Hippo, similar style cab to the United Dairies wagon.

tyneside:
Before the motorway was put through the A1 went to the west side of Durham.
There were three prominent landmarks in the area. Travelling north there was the The ■■■■ o’ the North pub ( now houses and flats) then the traffic lights at Nevilles Cross and then this pub, which as long as I remember was called the Pot & Glass but apparently when new was the Neville Dene. It is now a Sainsbury Local.
Maybe some of the slighter older ones on here can remember it !!
Tyneside
The Neville Dene changed its name to The Pot and Glass in the late 1950’s, taking on the name from a previous pub that had been a few hundred yards away. It was in this establishment that I developed the taste for beer.
Cheers!

The ■■■■ of the North was a very well known watering hole. The yearly A&G Xmas lunch was held there, for the Durham branch. Nevilles Cross had an Adam’s and Gibbon’s car lot there (second hand cars,the East side of the lights) and we also kept a few Bedford chassis cabs there (stock) The Pot and Glass was very handy for a shandy at lunchtime 
Well done “Oiltreader”
Your next task " should you choose to take it " is why the glass lined tank, for milk of all things ■■? Harvey
Ah Ha !!! One of yours “Oiltreader”
Could the GLASS WORKS be the clue ■■? Harvey

Even railway tankers had those and they would be easier to wash out than metal.Oili I don’t thing stainless would be about then would it.

It was albion1938 that got me looking at Leyland Hippos Harvey and I would guess glass lined for easy cleaning and corrosion free.

I was thinking back to my early days Tony and the milk churn collection from farms ,were the churns stainless steel? no, I read that they were galvanised iron and with regard to bulk transport, stainless steel tanks were introduced mid 1940s in the USA.
