Dereck, I have one photo of ERF chinese six artic loaded with steel,that was taken just after wilds took over.When i was a lad i used to wash the wagons when Mr Weetman owned them. My uncle Mr Jack Bright drove for them for years. Most of the drivers have passed away now. However i still know to 4 drivers still around and will ask them if any photos.I remember two new fodens being delivered to yard. WNT 118 & 119.That was 1959 (S20).When taken over I Know that Lloyds of trafford park & Gleave transport were involved. Anyway Dereck i bought the company in 1998.My firm changed from N.C.Peate & Sons to North Shropshire.I have tried to add photo to trucknet but without sucsess.If i can have your email.i will send photos.North Shropshire also had office in southampton in the early sixtees.

Hello Mike, Long time no see, Yes i remember you driving an ERF KV artic for North Shropshire and that was for wild because the colour had changed on the motor. I was in ICI Heysham with Jack Bright and you came in there. Mike i remember you having the buses as i worked for S J Morris in the middle seventies, Glad your still about.
