Thought I’d better keep the thread going,as no one else is bothering!!! Attention spans of a knat some people!!! Anyway,a Bewick Big J,obviously holding the traffic up on the A590 at Barrowbanks,on its way back to Milnthorpe with a Mcguffie curtainsider loaded with Bowater Scott tissue for somewhere in Lancashire or N.Wales.Then it would re-load with new 45 gal drums ex Braby’s, Breeze Lane, Aintree, for Marchon(Albright & Wilson) Whitehaven.s782.photobucket.com/albums/yy11 … 9_01-1.jpg
You appear to be having trouble posting your pics Dennis

Fair do’s “eastender”,constructive criticism is always welcome!However,some of the hundreds of shots in my gallery were taken of the actual photo, with a camera, then downloaded onto photobucket.So I’m embarresd enough about the presentation without having it rubbed in!!! Lets have some of your old photos on the thread,we could do with a bigger laugh than I can provide!! Cheers Dennis.

Keep the pics coming Dennis.I find them interesting.I do the same, take them straight off the camera,saves a lot of time scanning etc.
Cheers Dave.

cheers Johnnie

Anyroad,■■■■■■■■■ and tups(Rigsby Dave will know about tups) know all about t’stone ages,they quarried enough of it,half of t’Peak District missing,shocking.
windrush:
Aye Chris, part of what was quarried got floated away off Heysham and they called it the Isle of Man.
Pete.
Hi Pete,I knew either you or Dave Rigsby would be lurking.
I’m reliably informed that the IOM was formed at the same time as Dumfries and Galloway and ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ a bit of Ulster and Snowdonia chucked in.No mention of Derbys,Cheshire or Lancs.

So the chap who told me that tale was fibbing then? And he also convinced me that a fleet of Big J’s with 8 potter’s in had hauled the stone to Heysham…dont tell me THAT was a fib too. Anyway, time for my pills now.

That was no fib Pete,those Big Js all had 8-pot Patricrofts in but nowt to do with the IOM,just extending Morecambe pier.An ex Kendal retired haulier has the key to an ex LMS warehouse on Heysham quay where those Guys have been stored for donkeys.
This is a true story,an IOM Steam Packet crew member saw those units being shuffled into the warehouse one dark and stormy night.He told me in t’pub two or three years ago…mind you that ale was strong
