Only pic I have of our TM.
We’re from Hitchin so whilst not in Bedfordshire we’re only a couple of miles away :sunglasses:

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

Yes pototatoes Kempston-that’s mostly what the old man carted.I think these were either Egyptian or Cyprus judging from the shiny bags-it’s definitely summertime or they would definitely have been sheeted up properly.probably have been loaded at Dover western docks,straight to the London markets.

Couple of Hairloks oldies, nmp.
