Was it right “Hodge” that if you were a subby at B & G you had to run an MAN? 'cause they never sold any to anyone else much!!! Bewick.

hiya,
Have just Googled Silloth harbour it looks very quiet, i remember back in the late 60s when i was on for Killingbeck and pulling for Northern Ireland Trailers the port was being used by the Irish boats due to industrial unrest at Preston docks there was some good digs there which i used the times i delivered the Lancashire flats into there usually after a long haul from way down South, the road from the Carlisle side seemed never ending i suppose with it being a bit off the normal routes for most hauliers, but it made a change and the digs as i said was good and driver friendly, wonder is there much in the way of shipping useing the harbour now looks deserted.
thanks harry long retired.

Still fairly busy for a small port, ships come in with stuff mainly for Carrs mill which is either discharged on site or taken by local firms to storage on the old airfield, the Irish cattle and cement boats are long gone. Do you remember the name of the digs you stayed?
