Kempston:
“DEANB”Anyone know where the Grant’s DAF is from ■■
Freightroute have a depot in Irthlingborough just off the A45 near where Rushden and Diamonds football ground was. They also have a depot I believe in Poole? Grants bought out Aileys transport from the northants area, so given its pulling a FreightRoute trailer I would guess it’s from somewhere around the northants area, I also think I can remember them doing a lot of work for Weetabix at Burton Latimer near the A14.
Thanks for the info Kempston.

Hi Dean, You have been a busy lad again…From memory, I think that the Grants ERF is from the Northampton area, I could be wrong.
Cheers, Ray.
You know how it is Ray.

I remember when I worked for a BMC dealership replacing some pistons on a HA van belonging to Hond and Langar, the local glaziers. It involved removing the front axle to gain access to the sump and I was laying underneath torquing the big ends up when the wrench slipped and my hand travelled along the crankshaft, removing two fingernails in the process.Pete.
Thats sound’s bloody painful Pete,nasty chap i bet the old fingers were throbbing a bit !

Yes that’s the one, we had at least one lorry a day down there, I used to run down quite a few Saturdays, we’d pick up a container of less hazardous waste from the incinerator plant and run that into a landfill site in the New Forest believe it or not! Can’t remember the name of it but we used to come off the M27 at Brook, turn right and it was around twenty minutes from there, tipped that and ran back to the incinerator plant, reloaded with more hazardous stuff and run out to just before the M27. There was a lay-by there with a hole in the hedge where you could squeeze through and go into the large Tesco’s for breakfast. Back home after that, nice earner on a Saturday!
Wish the road’s were still this quiet,and no speed camera’s.
Paul went on a bit of a trip back in the 1970’s on his push bike to Wilmslow !
Thats a bit of a mission on a bike.
Anyway who can remember where this building was as its sadly been knocked down now ■■

About time we had some stuff on earth moving equipment and trucks.
Will be doing a bit about the building of a large flyover in Poole back in the early to mid 1970’s.
Heres a bit on some earth moving equipment from 1958.
Check out the Thornycroft Big Ben dump truck,looks sweet.

The Wiltshire farmers silos used to be in Melksham. Do i get a bonus point for spotting the Bulwark Seddon ? 
Great pics as always Dean
Yes Dean, I knew the Mooney twins. We ony had a small concrete plant with normally just one truck at Ballidon quarry but when Carsington Water was under construction it was flat out and mixers came in from the Potteries and Buxton to assist so that pair were regulars for a while. We also delivered limestone chippings to the Potteries plants at Tunstall and Fenton and occasionally Crewe (although Roland Young’s from Wales normally did that run) so encountered them there. One passed away a while ago, maybe both have by now?
One day I was sent to our tar plant for 20 tonnes of 40mm base course tarmac for Fenton plant, I assumed they were doing some work on the parking area so never queried it. When I got there the yardman told me to reverse up to the elevator hopper: “I’ve tarmac on you realise?” I said to him. He laughed ‘yes of course you have lad’ and I said “Yes, I really have!” . He went to undo the taildoor and I told him to feel the body: “Blimey, it’s hot!!!” 
Upshot was that somebody had cocked the order up, it should have been 40 tonne of 20mm chippings. I eventually tipped it at a farm near Waterhouses where the farmer was a mate of the quarry manager at our Kevin quarry.

Great photos of the motorways back in the day, god do I wish it was like that nowadays. Used to love driving back then when you could actually stop for a break when you wanted to as opposed busting your arse to get to xxxx before the traffic builds up and thinking it’ll take me 3 hours to get to xxxx as opposed to know idea how long it will take now. So glad I was able to work in that era and enjoy it but also glad I’m retired from it now. I have health problems now and have to make hospital appointments at Papworth and Addenbrooks in Cambridge, just over 30 miles from my house, sometimes takes me 2 hours! How can anyone enjoy stop start from Eaton Socon all the way to Cambridge? I used to be able to get to Ipswich from Bedford in 2 hours!
The red Scania rigid with the high body is Platts and they do sawdust.
Great pics as ever Dean.
Steve
