Tomorrow is a sad day, it’s the end of an era, I just hope I see many of A One there, I know there will be quite a few drivers there, and also hope to see many of the staff to give him a good send off, it will be a sad world without him, and transport will never be the same again.

yes jack it will be a sad day,got to start early tomorrow at silly o,clock so i can get there .all the Md’s at crossroads who jack dealt with are no longer there,but Md’s know how much he spent on Volvo’s and are very kindly sending some flowers which shows they do not forget old customers this is also a good firm to work for.better go to bed
DRY GINGER:
I well remember seeing Jack swinging his number five iron club as he walked down the yard. Hitting a stone which went straight through a cab window! He was well liked and will be sorely missed.
Likely where my garbled tale about the man smashing a windscreen because of flags and stuff started out, which got Dennis so animated many moons ago on here î‰ RIP to the man
A one transport garage at Jack Lane, Leeds before Gildersome depot opened. Probably early 60’s[/quo
Great pic i bet they soon outgrew those premises
Hi Ramone,i bet there are not a lot of people a live remember this place,will be back on later.keith
I dont remember that place, but I do remember those TV aerials, they were from the 1950s/60s. :-Jack
i think there was another yard before this one in the fenton street area of Leeds center,back of the cankerwell pub,can only guess but i think my dad would have spent a lot of his time in this boozer,as he lived just round the back
