Ed Weetman Scania. Is that a A35 with what looks like alot of filler in front of the drivers door.

Oh, really, Dean, how could you possibly mistake the raked rear screen of a 105E Anglia for an A35 ?!?!? If you get stuck, my local Specsavers are open as normal, apart from the mask.

Cheers “ROF” i was only a nipper chap.

Thanks for the info Jeremy. Just had a look on google maps and does not ring a bell from when i was a kid going in my
grandads trucks. Looks a bit odd with those houses on the rhs of the weighbridge.

Pilwoods was started by a local farmer so these were workers houses

Mr Pilbrow was his name and he was big time into pig production, Buzzer

Funny the stuff we remember Buzzer.

Dipster:
A35? No, it is a Ford Anglia 105E with a lot of filler!

Hi ROF, sorry no don’t know the man in question, bit before my time to be honest, I didn’t start doing bulk feed work till about 2000 but I know a few of the old Greendale drivers, they may remember as they did a lot out of Exmouth, as you probably know their boss owned the docs.
One man I do know that did regular work from Exmouth that you may remember is Dave Dart, Dart Transport from Exmouth, from what I recall he had an F86 then went on to a F10 or May of been a 12.
I’ll ask around regarding Mr Otter Vally. Cheers Nigel

Thanks, Nigel. I hadn’t realized that you were so young!

You have lost me “ramone”

[ramone]

The photos you post are from all types of vehicles , the photographer on the bridge that i see seems to like shiney new ones not 10 year old waste motors
I think some of the best images you and others post on here are working lorries not the up to date new ones , they bring back great memories long may you continue

[froggy55]

Thanks Dean, for the most interesting article on the 1960 Leyland heavy range!

Hi Dean, I refer to your picture of the OTA International Iveco, on the left of the picture is an AEC Reliance coach
owned by someone in Poole. I recognised the livery straight away, it would have been new to what was then called
Smiths Happiway Spencers of Wigan, later to become Shearings Holidays, now recently, sadly, gone. I have just put
a picture of one of the AEC coaches on the " Buses & Coaches " thread. Cheers, Ray.

I think that the coach belonged to Dolphin Coaches who were based at Wimborne when I was a supplier to them. Sadly they called it a day at the end of 2018.

Yes Dean, the Tilcon Foden was new to Ballidon quarry and given to Sam Hambleton who was the first employee back in the days when the first owner of the quarry ran a butchers shop in Ashbourne before he started into quarrying! With it having a white bumper in the pic (they were maroon when new) it was probably driven in that pic by the Late Derek Booth and based then at Kevin quarry in Staffordshire. However Bill Clowes (old stokie on this forum) also had a spell driving it at Kevin before Derek. I can’t remember if that one had the S40 cab fitted later, the sister truck (TRB 130K) did though.

Pete.
