Bearpark Colliery 1966. Anyone remember the colours of the NCB autobaggers at this time?

When i worked at Adams & Gibbons (Claypath,Durham, mid to late 70’s) we used to tare the new commercials off on the Bearpark weighbridge before licensing at County Hall. Those bloody queues for new registrations were frustrating to say the least!

I’ve seen an autobagger in Seaham a couple of times lately, can’t remember whose it is?

Supplied Bedford TK/TM’s to a couple of coal merchants…Tommy Hardy (Carville) and Tommy Lawson (Ferryhill) The latter had a border collie who was very welcoming when entering the yard but the bugger would’nt let you leave!

You remind me of the waiting at the taxation office at County Hall. The thing was they were so unpleasant as well, making no effort to speed up.
