I have not been into Holme Hall for 9 years now but back then it was quite a distance from the weighbridge to the stock heaps, depending on what material you were loading. There was a traffic light system on some of the roadways, no cameras on them though…! Remember delivering to Rawsons as well, are they still operating I wonder?

I used to call in if I was in the area when I drove for Gough Transport Limited from Matlock/Wirksworth. Never did much from there but they usually found you something even if it was just a local into Sheffield or Donny. Bolsover Moor quarry was another port of call if they were busy, but they could send you to Boston at three o clock so you had to be wary!!

I remember seeing Butlers in the old red colour Paul,could see the yard plain as day from MFS next door.Coming off nights I well remember seeing clouds of Gardner/Leyland/AEC smoke when drivers were firing up about 6 in a morning in winter. Happy days.
