I’m well impressed at the Southampton thread - but everyone knows where “The Cradle of International Haulage” 
was - Yorkshire!
Anyone care to start off with any tales of Jack Ashworth’s, P&M, Renwick’s, Gordon Morley et al?

hi there is a thread regarding james c ashworth only two photos at the moment but early days.I will try and put the two photos i have on there is my dads seddon atkinson dww967t loaded with tractors and dennis robson in dunkirk with a double deck bailer trailer on his f10 nub98v any other pics would be greatly appreciated

where can i find the jca thread please peter? i have tried for years to find even a single photo of the cab trailers to no avail - i built a model of one and in the end had to go on verbal details from their (a-one’s) old transport manager
who is your dad by the way, he’ll doubtless know eric and gary watkiss, frank mcquaid, jimmy macbride, jimmy (rip) and hubert tulley
hi my dad is bob quirie and i do know frank mcquaid we, have a drink on boxing day and have done for 20 years the fleece at allerton just next to the hill top yard is like an unnoficial yearly get together if you look on old time lorries on page 1 or 2 there are 2 photos one is the vintage restored by jack ashworth and the other is of awr 973s the erf my dad drove mainly on the tractor cab job but rope and sheet load this time
did you build tractor cabs and a unit to go with the cab trailer if so do you still have it,would a picture be possible.I have often thought about building one its on my to do list!!

i did but don’t think i have any photos of it - was exhibited at gaydon in 2006 and 2007
heres acouple i found on eurowheels
remember jacksons jj
you know longs but do you know who the driver was■■?
easy - johnny upton, did a few trips to spain with john, love to catch up with him
and do i remmber billy jackson - larger than life if ever there was one, won’t bore you with some of the scams he pulled, but i always remember he came into our place one morning saying his car was shagged and he’d had to come down from clayton on the bus, first time he’d been on the top deck for 20 years and he needed a stiff drink to get over the trauma 
you had to be there
john lives in spain i worked in the warehouse for jacko when he was nightspeed your right he was a character
oh right - you’ll already know about some of bill’s scams then it always made me laugh they way he went on with roy howarth, bit like ernie wise to bill’s eric morcambe if you will
i reckon the driver in that photo might have been brian crabtree, maybe before your time?
there was a portuguese wagon and drag one friday evening looking for his place to load for us, and the prat went and hit the railway bridge up birkshall lane - billy attended and when some “well meaning” member of the public started writing down the reg number, he decided to throw half a brick in the bloke’s direction, just to encourage him to stop his scribblings 
if we just carry on waffling to each other like this we MIGHT catch them southampton boys up yet
Here you are boys I’ll help you catch up with a post!!!
Found this the good old days of transport in Bradford!!
Delivering an engine cylinder through the streets of Bradford to the Railway Station for onward transport.
Regards Pat (Southampton)
i remember brian couldnt think of his first name 
his son mick worked at night speed old crabby used to load wool out of longs for jacko and that is his motor so i believe your right mate
