All I can recall of H&L Larry was that the Workington end was started by the ex depot manager of BRS Howgate,Whitehaven,Lavery, I think his name was, and I remember them running some DENNIS Maxim units,bags of ■■■■,even if they were named after me 
,one of their drivers on a DENNIS left H&L in 1969 and became the first driver employed by my old Marra, Harry Thompson RIP,on a new ERF 16ton 4 wheeler,which he ran out of Smith Bros Whitehaven.Cheers Dennis.
