i remember when Alan S Dennif from Kiveton Park got some of those 3-axled Scammells with tipper trailers in 1968,they looked really impressive in them days.I used to get lifts with them when thumbing to RAF Scampton Lincs just before I was demobbed.

I remember Peter Slaters coming over Blackstone Edge down into Littleborough.One turned over at Barhouse and ended up on its side in my uncles hen pen.The other crash i remember was when one ran away just past the Sheperds Rest trasport cafe and finished crashed into the railway arch in Littleborough.Iwas a lad of 8 or 9 yrs 50 yrs ago and lived on small farm on Blackstone Edge,all the locals would turn up with buckets and sacks and off with the coal.A Danish Bacon 8 went over one winters night about 8 pm not one rasher left by daylight a great time for a young lad.All the best BL

One of Shaws last tippers, taken from the Sykes Bulk Liquids and Shaws thread:

I pulled one of these trailers with this unit for a couple of months:

I was running into Orgreave and ICI Huddersfield among others but couldn’t shift enough coal in a day to make it pay.

Can’t say I was much of an ERF fan, but that just looks a proper wagon IMO. interesting info about the 8 sons, strange too how the similar but smaller Gilder tribe are from the same area isn’t it?

Just love the B/W pic. John, that’s just how I remember them lumbering through the narrow streets of Walsall, with us in our smaller lorries diving in between the cars to let them pass. Nobody seemed to be bothered by them though, as can be seen by the lady crossing the road! :laughing:
