D & N Morgan were from Craven Arms Pete, and did go to rental after packing the haulage up. All gone quite a few years. Various businesses on their old site nowadays.
Cheers Dave.
Ta for reply Dave,they had a rental depot at birmingham next door to chambers and cook
Hi ,Folks , D and m MORGAN , A finer firm that ever was we used to load back from them from CARDIFF ,and Newport , they used to work with us as near as poss to our Base they paid fare rates and on time , A shame they moved to into rentals but thats life , Cheers Barry ,Waddys Haulage
That’s the thing Barry. Three big haulage outfits, Morgan’s, Swain’s and Lloyds of Ludlow all in South Shropshire and all had big fleets in those days. Morgan’s went into trailer rental,and then finished. Swain’s and Lloyds are still around, but not as big these days.
Cheers Dave.

Hi CC what a great shot, taken in their yard on Boundary. Road, Saltney, which is now flats and houses, proper yard that always had a puddle in it no matter what the weather 
Some great caractures worked there, Mayers were the first in Shotton to use skelly trailers so no flat iron for those boys! I guess late 70s or early 80s shot before they bought the Merc’s
Again CC great shot, many thanks

Hello steelboy , can you remember that yard when it was the old Chester chain company ? or was that next door ! they had a AEC Mercury artic . Yes it would have been in the 80s when they bought the Mercs , but did you know they were one of the first hauleirs in the area to have a Volvo F10 ! , as i remember it was on a S plate , and soon afterwards Edges had one as well . thank you Trevor .
