Thanks for the interesting info EC11, So Mr Hodgson must have sold the firm in the years previous to the chap you named as the last owner. I could only recall the years 68/69 so I had no idea of what happened later on as you say they were running 52 motors by 1980 ! That does surprise me as it would seem they were bigger than “Fast Eddie” in 1980 !. So why is there no photos of JWH apart from one or two very old ones I would have thought there must have been some shots about from later years. Cheers Bewick.The photo’s Dennis are in the drawer with the photos of the Big J’s with the big Percy.

I think EC11 was only on “the wind up” as he is suggesting Hodgsons of Carlisle , in whatever later ownership they were in ran 50 odd motors ! So I think this claim must be, as Larry says, placed in the drawer with the Guy 8LXB ! Seems to have gone a bit “Ill Silencio” on the Hodgson front though ! Ah! well here goes another Unicorn up and running !
I do believe you could be right there David !Cheers Dennis

Well Dennis this one set of draws I would defo get into,
Well Dennis, I loaded back from their depot storage shed with Crepe Paper made in ■■■■■■■■■■ somewhere, This was IIRC 1958 Ish It was for Henley Cables at Birtley used for wrapping some of their products, I cant remember their Transport Managers name but he was a nice sort of bloke to deal with.He was a little dark haired fellow, He may have smoked a pipe 
, They also used to do a bit out of the Carnation Milk Factory in Dumfries at this time, Regards Larry.

Do you still get paid the 50% of a full load for any tonnage left over that can be returned to the plant for recycling, that was why in my day folk liked being the last to tip as, even if you only had a tonne left, you got paid 50% for full tonnage!
