Can anyone remember a company called Cole Transport Ltd, (I can’t) it seems as if they were taken over by Canute.

My mate used to work for them many many years ago,he drove a box van for them delivering cotton wool etc around the uk, I might be wrong but i think they were based around the kirkbride area.
On second thoughts i think they were based in Carlisle again i might be wrong’
