Kendrick’s seemed to spec most of their Fodens with single drive back ends and hub reduction on the third axle but I suppose they didn’t go off road much apart from loading at pits.

Hi Peter, is this Stan constables old motor ?

I remember the garage well Pete. I knew Stan well for about the last ten years of his life . I spent quite a bit of time at Stans cottage. He allowed me to keep a couple of bulls in his paddock, and it was always interesting giving him a hand in workshop. He always kept the Albion well, and I think he was a little sad to see it go.

Hi Nigel,
I think Stan used to keep a few head himself as when I worked at Millers we used to deliver some course ration there, obviously because he was a mate there would always be an extra couple of bags!!
I don’t know if Russell Cooke still owns the Albion?
Has anyone got any pics of Nichols or Roadways trucks please?
