My dad worked for them until the drivers strike and if i,m right Ted and Steve used every trick they could think of to keep my dad in work and not have them on strike. Running out of Irlande via Rosslare to france then the did,nt have to come home, but at some point that came to an end and when the strike was over they had to let drivers and motors go . Again not sure but i remember my dad saying when he did his picket duty at Safeways on the grange at Warrington that A & B were paying more then the union wanted good truck and two great bosses. If you got anymore photos pls post them or PM them to me please
J & A Jackson brick manufacturers from Longsight (found this on the net)
by heck john , i’ve hand balled a few loads off those jacksons fodens when i was a teenager on a building site . they usually pulled a trailer , so when the lorry had tipped his bricks , we hand balled the trailer load on to the lorry and he tipped them . the site was on a hillside and he couldn’t pull the loaded trailer to where the bricks were needed , so that was the alternative . jacksons still had some of the 1940s dg model still going then as well . cheers , dave
Hi Dave.When I first started work in 1962 one of the drivers who started a few weeks after me came from Jacksons off one of those Fodens with a trailer (wagon & pup he called them) and then his lad came to work at the same place but in the garage with me,still big mates with his lad today after all these years,he now drives for vitafoam in Middleton M/chester has done for a few years now.

Remember this yard on Taylor Road, busy place in front of Sivrites right on the end of Massey Fergusons, when Trafford Park had everything, Smiths / Evers got all swallowed up into TDG
Spotted this in Whitworth Rochdale this morning broken down with a spot of fuel trouble.Thanks to the driver for letting me take a few pics while he was waiting for the fitter to arrive.

The Quiligotti firm were first based in stockport for a number of years before moving to Hazel Grove (Newby Road) where the manufactured tiles for mainly supermarkets which were in the process of being built, and then airports.I took the first load to terminal two where believe it or not i had to unload inside the building.The original company was owned and run by the family before eventually being sold to a management company who ran it for a short time before joining Pilkingtons and moving to Clifton Junction.That i think was their downfall because within a couple of years it went into liquidation. There is still a ‘Quiligotti Tiles’ now run by Paul Quiligotti based in Altrincham but as far as i know the tiles are imported.l
Stanfield:
Your quite right Lawrence it was part of Pilkingtons but was bought by the management in 2010The sale, which completed on 26th November 2010, ensures that the UK’s main producer of specialised terrazzo flooring remains in operation within the UK, and also protects 23 jobs at the company’s production facility in Swinton, Greater Manchester
So it has now reverted back to the name of quiligotti.
I believe that Longcliffe Quarries ran a six wheeler Foden doing three loads a day to Quiligotti’s at Hazel Grove for several years.
Pete.
Yeah,you’re right about that.They brought in different grades of dust and stone for the manufacture of tiles.

Here are a couple of old photos taken around the Moston/Failsworth and Collyhurst area of Manchester.
I think that the white building next to the Tizer works on Lightbowne Road became Munro’s Manchester depot in the eighties.
Hi Steve .I remember Munro when they were running lorries from the depot which was on Lightbowne Road.The place is still there and the last company to run lorries from there were the Barrs soft drinks company which I believe purchased the Tizer company in the 70s .Barrs must have outgrown it because they have moved to premises on Hollinwood Ave.
