Used to have similar but with ribbed rubber grippers on the ends for carrying vehicle batteries, much easier than carrying them with two hands out in front trying to avoid acid on the clothes! And when I was a nipper father and big brother both drove for a builderâs merchant, I used to ride out with them and remember seeing the labourers on site unloading bricks with a sleeve of inner tube over each hand.

Hi Tyneside, Thank you for posting these great photos from the past, Take care & stay safe my friend, Regards Larry.
Good pics Tyneside I would think the rail car has more to do with the Tram system, they still operated until 1954 and there was a Tram workshop off Hylton Road, likely where the car is travelling to. They were possibly a line test/maint car. Franky.
As above, thanks for all those picâs to all who put them up. I wish Iâd thought to take a few back in the day.
That AEC Mammoth brought back memories of Marston Valley as a kid helping to handball commons and sand face on. Just a cross round the back and we never lost one.

Looking at that picture reminds of Jimmy Coatesâ yard at Wardley :- " Leyland half shaft son, just climb up that heap of axles you will find one at about six or seven high. Donât forget to take your ratchet and sockets up with you"
Tyneside
Ha aye I was in Coates yard quite a few times when I was in the Van Hee workshop, first visit I came across two Seddon J Reg 32:Four:220 cabs, one had been my Dadâs, I managed to get the small Seddon badge from the top of the front grille, I also found some old paperwork and payslips on the floor from the 70âs, interesting to read the take home money from back then it didnât seem a lot even in the early 80âs. Franky.

Line up of new Coles Cranes taken at the factory at Sunderland. I presume the ones with the T on the front are Thornycroft chassis but not sure what the other ones are, anybody any ideas??
