Taken at Scorton 0Hello Stansfield
Thankyou for that photo. Many thanks marra.
I’m I right in thinking that a member of the Dennison family owns that lorry?
Kindest Regards

yes dennison do own it
There was a tale going around in the 80s when THB were making Spanish Dodge day cabs into “coffinsleepers”, that one of the more wellbuilt/wellfed drivers got in his bunk and ended up on the catwalk entangled in the suzies on Charnock services one night

Tyson H Burridge bought out JA Pickthall, Cleator Transport, John Walton (consisting of three Mercedes 4x2’s) and H & ME Fearon.The JA Pickthall fleet included a Dodge and an ERF B series both had sleeper cabs and I believe that these were the first sleeper cabs in the Tyson H Burridge fleet and painted in their livery.
I believe that the Cleator Transport Scania 81 was the first foreign motor in the Tyson H Burridge fleet and painted in their livery.
In the early 80’s they expanded quite rapidly, however at a rough guess I would think that their total fleet size at this time would be around 20-25, they originally bought Atkinsons in the 70’s then in the early to mid 80’s they moved on to mainly Dodges (about 16) plus some Leyland Buffalos, ERF B series and Foden S83’s hauling flat beds, low loaders, vans, curtainsiders, fridges, tankers, bulk blowers and after purchasing Pickthall’s livestock.
Hello georgeking
Thankyou for that intomation. Very interesting marra.
JA Pickthall, didn’t they run a coach business at Cleator?

I own a ex Tyson h Burridge ERF E10 325 G177 TTM that I am restoring.
The only dealings I had with Tysons goes back a long way to the 60s.
Due to there being a strike by the dockers at Preston we had to ship out
of Barrow docks, on the return journey to Preston somewhere in the
countryside out of a farm entrance a car pulls out straight in front of
me, could not avoid a collision it was that close,the Tyson driver
coming towards me put his motor on the grass verge to avoid
hitting me,anyway he witnessed the collision, we swapped details
and away he went, never got chance to thank him for his skilfull bit
of driving for avoiding what could have been a head on smash,
so if you are on T/N reading this cheers drive. No one was injured by the way,just a few dents.

There’s often one parked outside First Milk in Aspatria overnight, XF105 with a light bar and “heavy haulage” above the door.

Hi

Hello truckfing, ERFE10 & dew
Thankyou for all your interesting and excelent posts marras. Truckfing, another great photo marra.
ERFE10, If I see any photos around of your lorry, I’ll give you the website address so you can see them.
dew, Yes, I’ve seen one of the XF’s down by Sealy in Aspatria. I think its got something to do with overnight parking nown that the main lorry park on Main St is a pay and display for lorries only.

I used to deliver acid to Marchon at Whitehaven a lot in the 80’s and was due to have a night out there.
The fuse had blow on the night heater so I called at THB’s yard hoping they could help me out.
I went to see a fitter and asked if he had a fuse for the night heater, he replied “What is a night heater, our lads get a thicker blankets in winter”, followed by laughs all around the yard.
Seeing as I had no heater or thicker blanket I booked into some digs for the night…
