Those Holmes pics bring back some memories .A trailer was loaded and dropped on the hill at the back of Holmeses yard but when the air dropped off went the trailer and ended up embeded in Greenbanks wall at the bottom of the hill and i think it hit a car too . :open_mouth:

Amazing even myself with what I find when ‘ratting’ through albums

Holmes Iveco 1996

One for Scud going up into Kilnsey Quarry.

Barry/Gloves

That,s a while ago when
you took that photo Barry was it taken about 1996 ,it looks like a hot day too ,probably rushing to get the last load in ,i don,t miss it though early starts and late finish,s we used to do 4 load,s a day up to marshall,s and hundreds of gear changes ever day, going to italy was like going on holiday and just 1 load each way . Cheer,s Richard.

I remember the solaglass scanias very well, i worked for ryder at that time! We used to have a good relationship with the drivers :slight_smile: The holmes vehicles also bring back memories, worked on them when i was at bramalls !

My dad would have known the driver of the hepworth and grandage aec, he was the sales manager for the foundry division.Does anyone have any pics or info on cliff parrots? ellis and everard?
