Here are a few old photos my dad (Stodge Edwards) had from his time on Pickfords Heavy Haulage in Leicester. The load on the first one is a crusher made by Goodwins of Leicester (later to become Goodwin Barsby). The 3rd photo also shows more quarry plant being towed, but I’m not sure if this is manufactured by Goodwin Barsby or Parker Plant, another Leicester company.
Stodge is the fella on the left in photo 5 (no, not the policeman!)

Does anyone know the make of the lorry in photo 4

There’s more photo’s in his old overnight case. I’ll post some more later.

Cheers for now,
Dave

I would agree that the wagon in the fifth picture is a Scammell as the fuel tank is square shape whereas the Atkinsons had round fuel tanks
