any pics

Hi any body remember, Needles of Hull, nicely turned out fleet
of Bedford, like to see any old pics

I think you mean Needlers Confectionery in Sculcoates Lane Hull which is no more. The factory was demolished after the firm was taken over by Ashbury. They ran old chocolate coloured Bedford rigid vans that looked like furniture lorries.

Unless of course you mean Harold Needler Quarries who later became Hoveringham Gravel.

He was also the new chairman of Hull City and my Uncle said that he was responsible for the downfall of Hull AFC (The Tigers) :stuck_out_tongue:

Hoveringham ran Foden 8 wheelers and Commer 2 Strokes.

I would be interested if someone could find some old photos

Needlers con, yea thats the one, Bedfords well turned out vans
we would have 5 or 6 lorries parked overnight, enjoyed thr freebies,
I remember Hoveringhams orange trucks, would b good to see a few pics
be some around somewhere
