Yes sadly Mabel passed away early last week and Fred went a couple of days later after a short illness. He had just turned 87 earlier this month. He was the third oldest son of four in the J Haydon & Sons firm.
He remained very interested in lorries right to the end and when I used to visit, we’d look through his many scrapbooks and talk about wagons, drivers etc and always had a laugh!
He is pictured below with wife Mabel in the cab on the last day of livestock haulage, April 1989.
Hiya…very sad news. i saw Fred at a friends party about 6 months ago Fred was using a wheel chair but was
chatting away with everyone… maybe a blessing he pass on so soon after Mabel… i,ve seen Haydons
lorries at the markets for 60 years…always a big Albion Fan was Mr Haydon, i think he has a1926 Albion lorry
to this day… condolences to whats left of the family…I only know Ann really now.
