Totterhoe lime, no longer going I believe.0
They finished quite a few years ago, the old Lime works are now used for Plasterboard recycling i believe.

Thanks for the info Trevor, I wonder how they recycle plasterboard?
One of Charles Wells breweries old tankers, I seem to recall they had a couple of Bedford KM artics but could be wrong on that? Pictured here with The stand of one end of Bedford Town old football ground in the top right of the photo.
Have to be honest I’ve never heard of this firm before so happy if anyone can shed some light on them.
One of Woodcocks after loading out of Robson of Carlisle, looks like a load of United Glass, maybe for Flitwick?
Apart from this being an intresting advert from 1965, it also features a Bedford of J.A.C. Bain Haulage from Dunstable.

It’s hard to believe how and why they ever stopped making them tbh Dean. Also can never fathom out why they didn’t make an 8 wheeler TM.

That’s a blast from the past-I seem to remember they had a few F7 eight wheelers.
Darren Docherty runs a few grabs painted in the same shade of green
A few of their F7s here Andrew, not the best quality I’m afraid.
Think this one took a wrong turn coming out of Toddington!

Yes was odd that they never built an 8 wheeler TM. There were some converted.

Yes I’ve seen photos of conversions before and on TKs & KMs so proves from an engineering point of a view it was possible, very strange, there’s a large market in the UK for 8 wheelers let alone the rest of the world.

A ■■■■■■■ engine should have been offered on the TM right from the start.lots of buyers would have been put off by the two stroke Detroit.
My father bought a Detroit powered TM second hand and really liked it, but he was initially very wary of it.
Only pic I have of our TM.
We’re from Hitchin so whilst not in Bedfordshire we’re only a couple of miles away

Great photo Andrew, what’s he loaded with? Potatoes?
