I am always intrested when delivering you come across a small tug/tractor or forklift that’s from the 50’s/60’s.
Its surprising how many are still about,not only in large factories but often in smaller companies. There are a
few dotted around Poole.

Hi Dean and thanks again for the postings. I can remember most of the featured companies. We were not involved too much in the flat / long distance scene. My Dad tended to concentrate on local tipper and livestock work and of course we also had the domestic solid fuel which kept about 10 / 15 men busy depending on the time of year.
As an addendum I would mention that my late sister worked in the Cawthorne Sinclair office at Birtley for some years.
Morning Dean,
Regarding Dalgety’s mill at Poole, I can remember tipping wheat there in 1990, M.Way had a big presence in there at that time as there was 2 or 3 of them tipping/reloading. Both times I had a wheel off the bridge whilst taring out, paid on the ton so every bit helps!
Dean British International were based in Ashley Crescent, Sholing, Southampton in the same yard as Cabmont and before them Public Benefit Coal Co, PBC think they went bust but did mainly Portugal work, Buzzer.

Hi Dean,
Yes the Marsden integral is the same company…i’m not sure if Ellis Morgan are still trading now…they were a very old company and once had a large fleet of Marsden Integrals…in the later years they went on to more artics.

Happy New Year Chris ! Your right London Carriers were owned by Philips but I believe they did a certain amount of third party work for other customers. IIRC Philips had a factory in Burnley. Cheers Dennis.
Philips owned Mullards who were originally valve manufacturers. In the North West, they had plants in Burnley and two in Southport - one in Butts Lane, Blowick (which later became a bakery) near where I live and the other larger plant was in Balmoral Drive, Crossens, where two of my Grandparents worked. It was built next to the old Vulcan works and was a very large employer in the town.
Finally dredged the depths of my memory - as others have said, London Carriers was a subsidiary of Philips Electrical, and Philips’ hauliers’ work was processed through London Carriers. Philips sold off LC to a (Swedish?) freight forwarder called Inter Forward and it eventually disappeared.
