This is BH Transport (or was it BH Freight?) of Clitheroe - I mainly remember them loading out of Walkersteel at Blackburn, but I can’t recall what other work they did

The green ERF belonged to Excelsior Plastics in Hereford. They had a factory in Holland IIRC - and also ran a 2800 Daf with a tilt trailer.
I don’t remember this flat roof Erf, but I do recall a high roof B series.

This is BH Transport (or was it BH Freight?) of Clitheroe - I mainly remember them loading out of Walkersteel at Blackburn, but I can’t recall what other work they did

B&H Transport of Barrow near Whalley aka “the twins”, largely because they are twins Brian and Eric, there was also a filling station and small garage. They retired and sold the yard for housing a decade or more ago.

I’m not saying that they didn’t work fow Walkers but it was certainly not their main work. For many years they worked for Atkinsons of Clitheroe who made gritter bodies, snow ploughs, muck spreaders and other agricultural equipment. After Atkinson was bought by Econ of Ripon production gradually moved to Yorkshire and eventually Clitheroe shut leaving the twins to find other work, they kept themselves busy mainly on paper out of Darwen for SCA. They never had a foreign badged vehicle ending up with ERF ECT’s with ■■■■■■■ M11.

Interesting insight into “the twins” business, thanks for posting.

Here’s a shot of one of their later ERF’s.
